Description

Striking map of the signs of the zodiac, showing also models of Solstice and Equinox, published by Marmocchi.

In the outer ring, the map shows the months of the year.  Inside this ring, we see the names and symbols of each of the major 12 constellations of the Zodiac, along with the seasons (Autunno, Estate, Primavera and Inverno).  

Toward the center of the map, an image shows the position of the sun and moon in representing solstice and equinox.

A marvelous and unusual image -- this is the first time we have seen this map.
