Bella e rara acquatinta a colori d’epoca che mostra santuario di San Chiaffredo in provincia di Cuneo. In basso le firme di “M. Nicolosino dis. dal vero” e “G. Arghinenti inc.” Tratta dall’opera Descrizione dei Santuari del Piemonte piu’ distinti… pubblicata a Torino nel 1822-25 da F. Reycend e Compagnia.
Il santuario di San Chiaffredo sorge nel comune di Crissolo nel luogo dove, secondo la tradizione, vennero ritrovati i resti del Santo, divenuto col tempo patrono della Diocesi di Saluzzo. E’ meta di pellegrinaggio dai paesi limitrofi, dal Saluzzese e dal vicino Queyras. L’edificio venne costruito a partire dal 1440 sui resti di una vecchia chiesetta; la bellissima volta risale al XVI secolo. La facciata è stata completamente rifatta nei primi anni del Novecento in stile neogotico.

A very fine map from the first edition of “Geographia di Claudio Tolomeo” by Girolamo Ruscelli published in Venice in 1561 at Valgrisi. There is a really interesting Italian text on verso that describes the early history and geography of the area. A feature of this first state is that some maps haven’t the platemark at top because two maps were engraved on the same plate and the resulting sheet halved. Ruscelli’s Atlas is an expanded edition of Gastaldi’s Atlas of 1548, which has been called the most comprehensive atlas produced between Martin Waldseemller’s Geographiae of 1513, and the Abraham Ortelius Theatrum of 1570. Gastaldi’s maps were beautifully engraved on copper, marking a turning point in the history of cartography. From then on the majority of cartographic works used this medium. As it was a harder material than wood it gave the engraver the ability to render more detail. Gastaldi sought the most up-to-date geographical information available, and [he] became one of the greatest cartographers of the sixteenth century.
