At the end of book IV of "Degli occhi di Gesù" (first published Bologna, 1707) Martelli describes an airship and its imaginary voyage. When the present edition of the poem was published, he added the four prose dialogues entitled "Del volo"; in later editions the fourth dialogue ("Mattina ultima") was suppressed. cf. Boffito, G., Biblioteca aeronautica italiana, 1929, p. 276; Venturini, G., Da Icaro a Montgolfier, 1928, p. 272-298.
