Allegory of Casentino

Poppi, Pratovecchio and Bibbiena are depicted in the background; the river Arno and the river Archiano, the mount Falterona represented as a woman "piena di faggi e d'abeti con i diacciuoli ai capelli", "filled with beeches and fir trees and with icicles in the hair", and, at last, an armed young man carrying the banner with the emblem of the city, show up in the foreground.
