DELLA CHIESA, Francesco Agostino. *Fiori di blasoneria per ornare la corona di Savoja con I fregi della nobiltà* (Exactly reprinted from the 1655 edition). Turin, Alessandro Federico Cavaleri, 1655, later reprinted in 1777 by Onorato Derossi. 1 vol. in-4. Contemporary calfskin, smooth spine with decorative embellishments. Half-title, title page, [2]ff, 73pp, [1]f Derossi bookstore catalog. Woodcut portrait of the author in a beautiful typographic frame on the back of the half-title page; coat of arms of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia engraved on the title page. A fine 18th-century reprint of this work, originally published in Turin in 1655, serving as an ideal complement to *La Couronne royale de Savoie*, one of the earliest historical works on the ancient Savoyard nobility (featuring a detailed description of the coats of arms). Della Chiesa (1593–1662) was bishop of Saluzzo, his hometown, as well as a historian and advisor to Victor Amadeus I; he is also known for his *Relatione dello stato presente del Piemonte* (1635). Title page missing; some foxing.
