About this work

This is a printed title page with fancy, old-fashioned lettering. The words are in black ink on a light, slightly yellowed paper. It looks like a book or opera program. The text is in Italian and mentions names like *Gesù, Maria, e Giuseppe* and *Domenico Tiepolo*. The title refers to a story about Jesus, Mary, and Joseph fleeing to Egypt. The date at the bottom says *1753*. This was likely part of a larger project, maybe an opera or a book. If you like this kind of old-style writing, look up Baroque next.
