Le arti di Bologna is a 1740 Roman edition of a series of engraved plates of Bolognese street trades, published by Gregorio Roisecco from designs attributed to Annibale Carracci, 1560-1609. The plates show single figures in working dress, each framed on a page with an Italian caption naming the trade. A designer could draw on their costume details, tools and posture for period figure studies, trade characters or historical costume reference.
