This is a beautiful map of the entire "Italian boot" made by the Venetian monk Vincenzo Maria Coronelli ( 1650 - 1718 ). It is a very unique and particular map made by Maestro Coronelli which represented at that time the Italian territories that includes even the Sicilian Island. At that time indeed all the cartographers used to represent always the Italian peninsula with only a partial view of the eastern part of the Island of Sicily, Maestro Coronelli emphasized the map presence of the full island placing it on the right upper corner.
Engraving Information:
This artistic reproduction of a vintage map was made using modern graphic procedures, but obtaining the results found in the antique copperplate engraving technique, as one can easily find out by lightly rubbing his/her finger on the map. This map, which is an exact reproduction of the original antique, is printed on cotton paper panels which are glued and mounted on a cotton cloth background "a stacchi" (slightly separated from each other), in order to allow for folding and easier transport. Finally, map is water-colored by hand making it a truly unique piece, worthy of the original old print.
