Fascinating mid-18th century antique map relating to Italy.

Wonderfully detailed, showing countless individual homes and buildings, as well as farms, etc.

POOR condition - Map displays some considerable signs of age and wear: small edge splits (mostly to margins), moderate to sometimes heavy dampstaining at sides, etc. Still, overall the map remains visually appealing and historically interesting.
