Memorie imprese, e ritratti de' signori Accademici Gelati di Bologna
Memorie imprese, e ritratti de' signori Accademici Gelati di Bologna is a 1672 Italian book published in Bologna by Manolessi, with portrait plates by Agostino Carracci, Giuseppe Maria Mitelli and others, made for the members of the Accademia dei Gelati. Each plate shows a bust portrait of a learned academician inside an ornate oval or arched cartouche with a Latin or Italian inscription, coats of arms, putti, wings, and emblematic objects such as globes, scrolls and instruments. A designer could take the framed-medallion layout, the scrolling baroque surrounds, and the heraldic and emblematic details as models for commemorative frames or insignia.
