Title A name given to the resource Reconstructing Gasparo Balbi's Itinerario Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource de Maria, Blake Subject The topic of the resource Gemstones --history Jewelry--history Italy--Venice--social life and customs Description An account of the resource Gasparo Balbi was one of the most important, and controversial, members of Venice's thriving lapidary community. The self-described "gioillieri Veneziano" spent nearly a decade traveling throughout the Middle East, India and Asia in search of uncut stones to sell in Venice. He recorded his trip in a journal, which was published in 1590, just two years after he returned to his home in Venice. This exhibition seeks to reconstruct Balbi's journey using illustrations of those sites and places he emphasized during his journey.
