- Description
- Coronelli (1650-1718) was a Franciscan friar, geographer, and prolific cartographer, both terrestrial and celestial. He was especially known for his ornate globes that graced many royal palaces. Coronelli's Atlante Veneto is considered the first comprehensive atlas produced in Italy and elevated the esteem of Italian cartography in Europe. Coronelli also put his considerable artistic skills to the study of heraldry, producing Blasone Veneto, first published in 1693. This diminutive volume begins with a general guide to the study of heraldry, followed by 78 coats of arms of the cities in the Veneto region and over 900 arms of the patrician families of Venice.
