Through the drawing’s disciplinary, the paper investigates the images attached in the Narrazione delle solenni Reali Feste ... held in Naples (1749) and returns, through ‘other’ images (here for the first time composed) a tour of real space, referring the architectural and urban spaces where took place the festivities to a synthesis table which shows the time program. Also; starting with the textual description and with the drawing in plant and section; and by a conversion in meters of the dimensions indicated in Neapolitan palms; the modeling and subsequent visualization of the pyrotechnic machine is returned. Then it was contextualized in Largo di Castello.
