Known as the oldest depiction of the city of Verona, the Raterian Iconography represents a unique image: a synthesis of realism and idealization, urban history and autobiographical narrative.

Contained in a Belgian codex dating back to the 10th century and now lost, we can still admire it through two 18th-century copies: one manuscript, which belonged to the intellectual Scipione Maffei, and a printout accompanying a volume of Giambattista Biancolini.  

The special event "Telling the City" will allow visitors to admire both, comparing their (many) similarities and (tiny) differences, discovering their history and details.

The exhibition will be complemented by a number of other texts - manuscript and printed - from the Capitolare's collection, describing or depicting the face of the city of Verona over the centuries.
