EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, presents Cansignorio della Scala, the powerful lord of Verona between 1340 and 1375. The image, taken from "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1861, showcases the Roman senator and governor in informal robes of the 14th century. Cansignorio is depicted wearing a ducal hat, a sign of his high rank, adorned with old brocade. The richness of his attire is further emphasized by the gold brocade cape, ermine trim, and a pink simar, a type of long, open robe, worn over his shoulders. The red velvet shoes he wears add an elegant touch to his ensemble. In his hand, he carries a scepter, a symbol of his authority. This illustration is based on the sepulchral effigy of Pietrolante, located in the church of Santa Maria in Araceli in Rome. The historical accuracy of the illustration is a testament to the meticulous research conducted by the authors of "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries." The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent fashion of the 14th century and the grandeur of the Italian nobility during this period. Cansignorio della Scala was a significant figure in the history of Verona and the wider Italian peninsula. He played a crucial role in the political landscape of the time, and his image continues to captivate historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the past and the rich cultural heritage of the Italian Renaissance.
