So the translation goes: This beautiful and accurate representation of Italy in 1806, made to a scale of approximately 1:248,000 is the same as the one published four years earlier by the Florentine bookseller Giuseppe Molini, with the only addition of the roads and the post offices. The map was made by the famous geographer A. Rizzi-Zannoni and then engraved on copper under Molini’s direction. The map representation is by Cassini with the Prime Meridian at Paris. The orography is in perspective with oblique light shading. The map includes eight graphic scales with Italian, French and German measurements. Particularly exquisite is the artistic cartouche on the bottom right-hand side. The following is the announcement of the publication of the map on the Gazzetta Universale in1802 which used to be published in Florence twice a week.

All maps are Made in Italy, outlined using a hand tooled copper press, painted by hand using water color, mounted on an antiquated, linen and cotton canvas in sections which fold easily and are encased in a soft bag, inside of a luxurious burgundy gift box with the map’s title written across the corner cover.

Maps may be hung using any method of your choice including professional framing (available upon request) or be displayed atop tables or other flat surfaces.
