Splendid map of the region in northern Italy with the city of Cremona near the center. The map is based on the 1571 map of Antonio Campi. The most striking feature of the map is the huge inset of essentially the same region based on a map by Forlani. The inset is presented in an elaborate strapwork cartouche with three other cartouches at bottom. French text on verso, published in 1598.

References: Van den Broecke #127.
