This superb map of southern Italy is filled with detailed information, including fortresses, cities, villages, mountains, volcanoes, etc. The beautiful title cartouche is composed of the arms of the various provinces held aloft by putti, which is counterbalanced by the scale of miles featuring the arms of Naples. This is the second state of the map.
