The map of Belitri (now Velletri) by Pietro Bertelli, included in the famous Theatrum Urbium Italicarum first published in Venice in 1599, offers a detailed and evocative view of this fortified city situated on a hill. The engraving meticulously depicts the mighty walls and gates that punctuate access to the city, highlighting the defensive and strategic aspect of the Renaissance town. The aerial perspective allows one to grasp the city's dominant position in the surrounding landscape, emphasizing its historical and military importance.
The coat of arms on the map enriches the depiction, underscoring Belitri's identity and prestige among Italian cities of the era. Bertelli's engraving quality, with its attention to detail and print clarity, transforms this map into a work of art and a valuable historical document, offering a vivid visual narrative of the city's history, architecture, and territory.
