Copperplate engraving, hand colour, 360x455 mm. Pleasing map of the territory taken from “Italia,” the fundamental first atlas with maps of the entire peninsula, which the geographer and mathematician Magini produced in the late 1500s but, due to his death, was published only in 1620 by his son. Thanks to his personal contacts with the most important institutions and cartographers of the time, Magini had at his disposal cartographic material that was sometimes unpublished or otherwise unavailable to scholars. His work formed the foundation of all 17th-century cartography, being constantly copied by all subsequent authors. Good copy with small reinforcements on verso, visible against the light.
