Memorie istoriche della citta di Pisa
Memorie istoriche della citta di Pisa is a 1682 history of the Italian city of Pisa by Paolo Tronci, printed in Livorno by Gio: Vincenzo Bonfigli. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a strip ornament, with the letters A, V and N filled by vines, leaves, flowers and scrolling foliage. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut ornament of early modern Italian printing, suited to heavy display capitals and border bands.
