Descrizione del sacro monte della Vernia

Moroni, Lino · 1612 · [Florence] : [publisher not identified] · 23 pictures

Descrizione del sacro monte della Vernia is a 1612 Florentine guidebook by Lino Moroni describing the Verna monastery on Mount Verna, a pilgrimage site tied to Saint Francis of Assisi. The engravings show the mountain's rock formations, wooded paths, and shrines, with a small chapel, a winged figure on a cliff, and pilgrims walking below. A designer could draw on their dense, shaded line work for rocky landscapes and devotional architecture.
