"Territorio di Orvieto", Magini, Giovanni Antonio

This map details the region surrounding Orvieto, including Lake Bolsena and the cities of Todi, Viterbo, and Acquapendente. The map is handsomely adorned with two strapwork cartouches featuring a pair of nude men and mythological figures. This splendid map is from Magini's important atlas - the first printed atlas of Italy, which was published posthumously by his son Fabio Magini in 1620, 1632 and 1642.
