Hakkında pek az şey bildiğimiz Francesco Fanelli, Parthenon tapınağının bombalanması sırasında orada bulunmadığı halde, 20 yıl sonra, Venedikli Morosini'nin Osmanlı işgalinde bulunan Atina'ya karşı seferi sırasında vuku bulan olayların özgün tanıklıklara dayanan son derece ayrıntılı bir betimlemesini verir.

Yapıtının ilk ve tek baskısında Akropolis'in antik çağlardan Osmanlı fethine kadar tarihini anlatan ilk bölümden sonra Atina'daki anıtları betimler, bunların yanında Venedikli mühendislerin topoğrafya aletleri kullanarak yaptıkları ilk planları da ekler. Kitabın son bölümü Atina'nın Morosini tarafından kuşatılmasına ayrılmıştır.
