Etching. Below right the name of the engraver and the date of creation. As stated in the lower left, the "Capriccio with portico and pulcinelli" preserved at the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo is inspired by Francesco Guardi: the engraver, faithful to the painting in the architectural layout, has instead completely modified the figures , replacing the pulcinella with people from the street. Well preserved, the print is presented in a frame.
