Abstract

The text recalls the technique of the loci and images of the Art of Memory, presented in various rhetoric treatises. The references range from Cicero and Quintilian to the Art of Memory from the XVII century. The construction of mnemonic loci and memory palaces are commented, suggesting the relevance of the image in the construction of thought.
