"Pedemontanae Vicinorumque Regionum Auctore Iacobo Castaldo Descrip.", Ortelius, Abraham

Ortelius based his map of the Piedmont region on the cartography of Giacomo Gastaldi. Milan is in the upper right corner and Monaco is at lower left. The map is a great illustration of the mountainous countryside and is filled with information including even the tiniest of villages. Ornamented with two cartouches and a sailing ship in the Mediterranean. German text on verso.
