This detailed map of Sulmona, taken from Ferrando Bertelli's Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, was first published in Venice in 1599.
The engraving illustrates the urban layout of the city in the late Renaissance, depicting significant buildings, streets, and monuments with intricate detail. The map features a fortified city wall surrounding the city, highlighting its strategic importance. The title cartouche, in the upper left corner, bears the Latin phrase "Ovidii Patria", indicating Sulmona as the birthplace of the Roman poet Ovid.
The map offers a historical snapshot of Sulmona's urban plan and architectural elements, reflecting the artistic and cartographic capabilities of the late 16th century. A true gem for connoisseurs and collectors.
