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…

A rare map depicting northern Italy during the Second War of Independence, designed and printed in Strasbourg in 1859 by Frédéric-Émile Simon, a figure who stands out in the history of European publishing and chromolithography thanks to his innovations in color printing. 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…

This large map of Italy, published in Paris in 1859 by the renowned publishing house of Eugène Andriveau-Goujon, is a cartographic document of great interest for reconstructing the geopolitical dynamics of the Risorgimento. The map depicts Italy immediately following the Second War of Independence: Lombardy appears already annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia following the Treaty of Zurich, while Veneto remains under the control of the Austrian Empire, distinguished by its color from the rest…

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…

In the pivotal historical context of the Italian Risorgimento, cartography did not merely serve a documentary purpose or simply depict the territory; rather, it emerged as a genuine strategic and geopolitical tool. An example of this is the map “Italia Superiore ed i Ducati contenente i più minuti dettagli possibili alla scala di 1/1111111.11 per illustrazione degli avvenimenti della guerra dell’Indipendenza d’Italia publicata da Gio. Richetti incisore geografo” designed and engraved by Modotti and published…

A rare military and topographic map focusing on the strategic region between Lake Garda and the courses of the Mincio, Adige, and Po rivers. The title, explicitly referring to the “Quadrilatero” (Festungsviereck), identifies the Austrian defensive system centered on the four main strongholds: Verona, Mantua, Peschiera, and Legnago. The map stands out for its fine depiction of orographic details (rendered with a delicate shaded hatching for the Pre-Alpine ranges and Monte Baldo) and hydrographic features.…

Out of stockInteressante e decorativa carta geografica prospettica dell’Alta Italia nella quale viene messo in risalto, sfruttando le nuove possibilità offerte dall’uso del colore in cromolitografia, il complesso apparato montano del territorio tra Piemonte, Lombardia e Veneto. La carta, fisica piuttosto che politica, descrive senza porsi scopi scientifici (vedi le esagerazioni nell’idrografia) ma prediligendo l’immediatezza grafica di una vista aerea lo scenario delle battaglie avvenute durante la Seconda Guerra d’Indipendenza in Italia settentrionale. In questa pregevole rappresentazione…
