  • Urban iconography is a branch of iconography, a term used both extensively, to mean a collection of illustrations of a specific subject and, within art history, the study of the subject matter of figurative representations. Iconology is more specifically concerned with the interpretation of the same subject matter. According to Erwin Panofsky iconography aims to identify the primary and secondary subject matter, and therefore “in doing so, iconography is an invaluable help for the establishment of dates, provenance and, occasionally, authenticity; and it furnishes the necessary basis for all further interpretation”.Urban iconography is focused on the city, a complex and dynamic artifact, whose forms are a transparent medium of social ideas, individual and collective needs, like dwelling or gathering for religious, economic or political purposes, needs to which different societies gave different answers.To interpret town images correctly, it is necessary to understand the urban mechanisms of evolution, as well as urban culture. On the other hand, the image itself is part of the wider history of figurative handcrafts, and therefore. deciphering its representative code is essential to guarantee a proper interpretation and a proper use.

  • L'iconografia urbana è parte del più vasto settore dell'iconografia, termine usato sia estensivamente per indicare l'insieme delle rappresentazioni figurative di un determinato soggetto, sia, all'interno della storia dell'arte, per indicare lo studio della descrizione dei temi raffigurati nelle opere figurative. L'iconologia ha invece lo scopo di interpretare gli stessi temi. Secondo Erwin Panofsky l'iconografia mira "a decifrare il soggetto sia in modo diretto che indiretto di una figurazione" ed è quindi "di incalcolabile aiuto per fissare, date stabilire provenienze, eventualmente assicurare l'autenticità delle opere: e naturalmente fornisce la base necessaria per ogni interpretazione successiva".
