Manfredo Settala’s Cabinet of Art and Curiosities in Milan

Cesare Fiori (mentioned on object), c. 1666

In the space depicted here, every centimetre is used for the presentation of a wide variety of objects. Distinguished visitors of this 17th-century cabinet of art and curiosities must have been awed; it was like walking through an encyclopaedia. Fiori made the print to illustrate a book about the private collection of the Milanese clergyman Manfredo Settala.
