![carta geografica antica lombardia veneto]()
Northern Italy’s detailed map stands out due to its beautiful representation of the landscape and the innovative approach of marking not only the altitude of the mountains but also of the towns in the area. The warning in the bottom right-hand corner, placed under the legend of the conventional signs, is significant: “this map follows the one in a single sheet engraved and published by the Royal Corps of Staff”; therefore, the map is related…

The map of the Province of Pavia, dedicated “To His Excellency the Count of Hartig, Governor of Lombardy,” drawn by Giovanni Verri and published in Milan in 1850, is a remarkable example of mid-19th-century Lombard administrative cartography, following in the footsteps of the great Austro-Lombard topographical tradition. The work accurately depicts the entire territory of Pavia, then part of the Lombardy-Veneto Kingdom under Austrian rule, a few years before the profound political changes that would…

![antica carta geografica italia chauchard]()
Important map of northern Italy drawn by Captain M. Chauchard (an engineer and cartographer specializing in military camps) and published in Paris in 1791 by J.C. Dezauche.

This is a legendary map: during the Second Italian Campaign of 1800, the Topographic Office of the Armée de Réserve had…

In the lower left corner, the publication details highlight the use of “the best French and German documents” and lend the map scientific objectivity, positioning it as a “neutral” source of information in…

Fine map of Mantova from the french edition of Atlas major published in Amsterdam in 1667. The famous Blaeu’s firm was founded in 1596 by Willem Janzoon Blaeu (1571-1638) then continued by his two sons Cornelius (1616-1648) and Johannis (1596-1673). Their greatest cartographic achievement was the publication of the magnificent Atlas Major with 600 maps all finely engraved and embellished by elaborate cartouches, heraldic detail and especially by splendid calligraphy. The Atlas Major represents one of the finest moments in cartography. The firm shut down in 1672 when their offices were destroyed during the Great Amsterdam fire. A year afterwards Johannis Blaeu died. The firm’s surviving stocks of plates and maps were gradually dispersed, some of the plates being bought by F. de Wit and Schenk and Valck, before final closure in 1695.

Out of stockAlessandro Maridati’s “Gran carta corografica itineraria e statistica del Regno Lombardo-Veneto” stands as one of the most ambitious cartographic syntheses of Habsburg-controlled Italy in the mid-19th century. Published in Milan by Ferdinando Artaria e figlio in 1859 and masterfully engraved by Pezze, Allodi, and Bezzera, this imposing work—noteworthy for both its grand scale and scientific rigor—was conceived not merely to map the terrain, but to provide a systematic documentation of the infrastructure, resources, and administrative…

Out of stockGiuseppe Picci’s work, titled “Della letteratura dantesca contemporanea: rivista critica,” represents a precious fragment of mid-nineteenth-century Milanese publishing, elegantly printed by the Tipografia di Giuseppe Redaelli in 1846. The volume serves not merely as an academic analysis but as a vibrant observatory on the legacy of the Supreme Poet during the pre-unification period, a time when the cult of Dante took on profound patriotic and identity-driven significance. Within its pages, Picci gathers reviews, commentaries, and…
