Iconologia, ovvero, Immagini di tutte le cose principali a cui l'umano talento ha finto un corpo
Iconologia is an 1819 Milan emblem book published by P.A. Tosi, compiling Cesare Ripa's allegorical personifications with plates by Filippo Pistrucci and Antoine Sergent-Marceau for artists and scholars. Its hand-coloured plates show allegorical figures in classical dress, each labelled with Italian virtues or vices, and a designer could draw on their drapery, attributes and gestures to build symbolic characters.
