Marcantonio Dal Re (18 December 1697 – 26 April 1766), also spelled Marc'Antonio Dal Re, was an Italian engraver and publisher. He is known for his engravings of buildings and vedute of Lombardy.[1][2] Among his most splendid prints is a depiction of the interior of the Regio Ducal Teatro in Milan, which serves as an extravagant frame for a sonnet in praise of the soprano Violante Vestri.[3]
