"Territorio di Orvieto". Copper etching in good recent coloring from the "Atlas of Italy" by Giovanni Antonio
Magini (1555-1617). Bologna, 1598.

One of the very enticing maps of this important Italian cartographer of the 16th century. We have to realize that
we are looking at a very well preserved map 400 years of age! It shows, in an almost square format, the Lago
di Bolsena and the famous region of Orvieto, the region i.e. where one of Italy's excellent wines come from.
A Renaissance title cartouche, another with dedication and signature and another one yet with a mileage scale
plus an ornamentic way of depicting mountains, forests and cities give this desirable map the touch of antiquity
map lovers cherish so much.

This map has general light toning and ink rests on the plate mark that came about when the copper plate was
pressed on the paper. Condition: Very Good.
