 The splendid view of Ancona, in the Marche region, is part of the monumental atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in Cologne starting in 1572. This extensive editorial project represents one of the most complete and detailed collections of panoramic views, maps, and descriptions of the cities of the known world in the 16th century, conceived as a complement to the famous world atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Abraham Ortelius. The work, distributed across six volumes, includes over 546 plates created by a group of artists and topographers, among whom stand out the original drawings of the Flemish painter Joris Hoefnagel and the engravings of Hogenberg, which make each view a masterpiece of precision and engraving art.

The view of Ancona is made using the copper engraving technique and stands out due to its precise bird's-eye representation of the city and its territory, offering a detailed vision of the urban layout, fortifications, monuments, and the port.
