EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases two equestrian statues of the Podestas, or mayors, of Milan from the 13th and 14th centuries. The first statue represents Oldrado da Tresseno, a prominent figure during the 13th century, who held the position of Podesta, or chief magistrate, in Milan. The intricately detailed engraving captures Oldrado in his regal attire, adorned with a flowing cloak and a helmet, as he rides proudly on horseback. The second statue represents Mafiolo Visconti, the Podesta of Milan during the 14th century and the brother of Matteo I Visconti. Mafiolo's statue is equally impressive, with the Podesta depicted in armor, holding a scepter and a globe, symbolizing his power and authority. The setting for these statues is the Loggia degli Osii, a beautiful portico located in Palazzo Anziani in Milan. The loggia, with its impressive Gothic architecture and intricate facade, serves as a fitting backdrop for these historical figures. This stunning copperplate engraving, created by Giarre from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a glimpse into the rich history and fashion of Milan during the 13th and 14th centuries. The hand-colored illustration adds an extra layer of detail and authenticity, making it a valuable historical document and an intriguing work of art.
