Carlo Lasinio was an Italian engraver. He worked chiefly at Florence. Lasinio started as a painter at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, he placed more emphasis on printmaking after moving to Florence in 1778. He established his reputation with two large series of etchings in 1787 and 1789. Lasinio taught engraving at the Accademia in Florence, becoming a Professor in 1800. Lasinio moved to Pisa in 1807, he made considerable efforts to protect the Camposanto and its frescoes from ruin, from which it was threatened due to the destructive effects of the Napoleonic wars. In 1812 he began his influential book of etchings; this was entitled, Pitture a fresco del Campo Santo di Pisa. These large etchings were composed in the defined "outline style", popular in the early nineteenth century in reaction to the soft tonal effects of 18th century stipple engravers such as Francesco Bartolozzi; these works proved to be influential on 19th-century European art on the Pre-Raphaelites in Britain. According to William Holman Hunt, study of Lasinio's book convinced the group to reject High Renaissance art in favour of these earlier works.

Lasinio's engravings proved an important record of the frescoes, which were severely damaged by bombing in World War II. Other works depicting the old masters included his forty plates of Frescoes and Oil Paintings at Florence, large etchings which delineated the most famous Renaissance frescoes in Florence. Among his other activities Lasinio founded the Academy in Pisa, where he died. Apart from his many series of engravings and etchings, Lasinio created original images, his portrayals of eminent Italians include the great explorers, Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. His son, Giovanni Paolo Lasinio, was an engraver. Bryan, Michael. Walter Armstrong and Robert Edmund Graves. Dictionary of Painters and Engravers and Critical. York St. #4, Covent Garden, London.

The LCDR A class was a class of 0-4-4T steam locomotives of the London and Dover Railway. The class was designed by William Kirtley and introduced in 1884; the A1 and A2 classes had larger driving wheels. The differences between the A1 and A2 classes were minor: in particular, the A2 class had a larger heating surface. All the A, A1 and A2 class locomotives passed to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1899. Number 570 was withdrawn in 1915 but the remaining locomotives passed to the Southern Railway in 1923. All had been withdrawn by 1926. Bradley, D. L.. The Locomotives of the London Chatham and Dover Railway. RCTS. Bradley, D. L.. The Locomotive History of the London, Chatham & Dover Railway.

The Church of the Intercession at Fili is a Naryshkin baroque church commissioned by the boyar Lev Naryshkin in his suburban estate Fili. It is located at Novozavodskaya Street; the existing church replaced a 1619 wooden church established by Mikhail Romanov, consecrated in the name of the Intercession of the Virgin to commemorate the victory over Polish troops on that day in 1618. In 1689, Fili village was acquired by Lev Naryshkin, brother of Natalia Naryshkina and uncle of Peter I. Naryshkin's two brothers were murdered during the Moscow Uprising of 1682; the church was constructed between 1689 and 1694 in the shape of a Greek cross, with short, rounded annexes. It contains two churches: a winter Intercession Church in the basement and a summer, unheated Church of the Saviour Not Made by Hands above it. All construction records were lost in a 1712 fire, thus the exact year of completion is unknown, as well as the names of the architect and contractors. Both Natalia and Peter were donated money to the church.

The church was damaged by French troops in 1812 and more by the Bolsheviks and World War II. By 1945, it lost all domes and the upper octagonal layer, it was restored in 1955-1971 and 1971-1980 and painted pale red, although the original color scheme remains disputed. The earliest layer of paint uncovered by restoration is pale blue. Н.Мерзлютина, "Церковь Покрова в Филях", "Архитектура.Строительство.Дизайн", 2003 Church of the Intercession at Fili, "Pravoslavie.
