Is there anyone who can recommend a manual on figured bass?

I would like to find one that does not use language that is too outdated and is provided with exercises (and perhaps the possible solutions)

Thanks in advance

I recommend you

Federico Dal Sordo: "Il basso continuo"

He offers excellent citations and explanations of the most important treatises from all schools, along with exercises accompanied by examples. It is very expensive but worth it

There are also historical texts like those of Keller and Christensen, the latter only dealing with the French and German schools in the 18th century

Thank you all

I was looking for something modern that would best synthesize the basic concepts in understandable Italian.
