"Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Italiae Corsicae et Sardiniae Descriptio", Wit, Frederick de

This fine map of Italy extends to include Corsica and Sardinia in the west and through the Dalmatian coast in the east, which was controlled by the Republic of Venice. The map is filled with information on the cities and towns and is beautifully ornamented with putti and Europa in the title cartouche and sailing ships and a raging sea battle filling the seas.
