SOCIETA' E CULTURA NELLA PIACENZA DEL SETTECENTO VOL. 4 | 1979

Volume 4 of the series delineates the role of print culture, cartography, illustration, and the emerging scientific and intellectual networks in 18th-century Piacenza. Drawing on archival sources, engravings, maps and less-studied book production, the volume explores how the circulation of knowledge, geographic representation and graphic media contributed to the social and cultural transformation of the city and its province. This focus on visual literacy, topography, and the print-industry offers a distinctive angle on the Enlightenment era in a provincial Italian context, linking local phenomena to broader European currents of scholarship and dissemination.
