EDITORS COMMENTS
Oldrado da Tresseno: The Distinguished Mayor of Milan in the 13th Century Oldrado da Tresseno, depicted in this exquisite handcolored illustration drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, represents the noble and influential figures of the 13th century in Italy. As the Podesta or Mayor of Milan, Oldrado held a significant position of power and authority in the city's government. The illustration showcases Oldrado's elegant attire, which was typical of the fashionable clothing worn by the upper classes during this period. He wears a long, flowing tunic, which is secured at the waist with a wide, gold clasp. The tunic is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the wealth and status of its wearer. Oldrado also dons a cape, which is draped over his shoulders and fastened at the neck with a brooch. The cape provides both style and functionality, protecting him from the elements. His stockings are held up by garters, and he wears gold spurs on his shoes, signifying his status as a horseman. The gold clasp, which secures Oldrado's tunic, is a symbol of his power and authority. It is intricately designed, with intricate patterns and precious stones embedded in its surface. The clasp also features the emblem of Milan, a red cross on a white background, further emphasizing Oldrado's connection to the city and its people. This illustration, from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the 13th century. The attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors bring Oldrado and his world to life, making this an essential resource for anyone interested in medieval history and fashion.
