This lovely copper-engraved map is centered on the northern Italian city of Mantua and the region along the Po and Oglio rivers. The city proper is shown surrounded by three artificial lakes that were created as part of the city's defense system in the 12th century. Other fortified cities in the vicinity are depicted and colored in red. The map is embellished by a decorative title cartouche and compass rose.
