The picture shows a damaged old document. At the top of the document there is a preserved coat of arms with a red and white shield and golden stripes. The edges of the paper have a golden yellow border with black and red ornaments. Much of the text of the document is illegible due to damage. The paper appears to have been soaked with water or heat, causing the ink to fade and the paper to warp.

Egnazio Danti (1536-1586) Born to a wealthy family in Italy. He learned the basics of painting from his father, and later his aunt developed his talent. In 1555, he joined the Dominicans, where he devoted himself to not only philosophy and theology, but also to mathematics, astronomy and geography. As a scholar, he devoted himself to painting maps and map works. For four years, he also participated in the work on the large Guardaroba Globe. He also devoted himself to architecture. For example, he provided plans to build a church and monastery in Bosco Marengo in Piedmont. He designed an architectural element that allowed a narrow beam of light to enter the church at noon.
