"Colonna di M. Antonino Imperatore nella via Flaminia in Roma" is a copperplate engraving from the twenty-second volume ("Tom. XXII") of Lo stato presente di tutti i paesi e popoli del mondo, the Italian edition of Thomas Salmon's universal geography published in Venice by Giambattista Albrizzi. It shows Piazza Colonna on the Via del Corso, with the column of Marcus Aurelius, the fountain, the surrounding palaces, carriages and passers-by. The sheet has a fold, as issued.

Albrizzi's edition of Salmon, issued in many volumes from 1731, was much enlarged for Italian readers and illustrated with views of towns and monuments, including a long series of plates of Rome.

Francesco Griselini (1717-1787) was a Venetian scientist, writer and draughtsman, who worked for Albrizzi and other Venetian publishers.
