This anonymous 18th-century map of Italy provides a detailed cartographic representation of the Italian peninsula and surrounding islands, including Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. The map features detailed outlines of cities, towns, and geographical features, including mountains, rivers, and coastal areas. The map is also notable for its inclusion of inset maps depicting major cities like Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples, offering a glimpse into the urban landscapes of the time. The map’s intricate detail and vibrant color palette make it a valuable historical artifact, reflecting the growing scientific understanding of geography and cartography during the Enlightenment.
