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…

Richetti incisore geografo” designed and engraved by Modotti and published…

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.…

The area depicted encompasses all of mainland France, Belgium, and portions of neighboring countries, with an inset dedicated to Corsica in the lower right corner. The…

Printed in Genoa in 1950, this tri-fold brochure is one of the finest examples of postwar Italian tourist cartography. The central panel is entirely occupied by a large panoramic view of Lake Garda rendered using the “bird’s-eye view” technique, the unmistakable stylistic hallmark of Heinrich C. Berann. The viewer is ideally positioned to the southwest, with Mantua behind them, and the gaze sweeps northward, taking in the entire expanse of the lake: from the morainic…
