This boldly engraved map shows the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily in fine detail. It names several towns and cities, including Rome, Naples, Taranto, Messina, Catania, and Palermo, and depicts rivers, mountains, and roads. Etna and Vesuvius are graphically depicted as erupting volcanoes. A fragment of Turky in Europe appears in the northeastern corner of the map. There is a compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis and a title cartouche that incorporates a vignette of the Amphitheatre of Capua.
