The map of the ancient city of Piacenza by Pietro Bertelli, taken from the Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, first published in Venice in 1599, offers a detailed and fascinating view of the Emilian city. The engraving shows Piacenza with its imposing fortified walls, access gates, and Renaissance urban layout, highlighting the defensive characteristics typical of the era. The large coat of arms dominating the scene adds a heraldic touch, emphasizing the historical importance and prestige of the city in the 16th-century Italian context.
This work by Bertelli represents a perfect fusion of cartographic precision and fine engraving art, offering us a historical document of great cultural value. The map is a precious piece for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of urban history and ancient cartography, capable of transporting the observer into the heart of a city rich in history and tradition.
