Map of ancient Vicenza and the surrounding area by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli

This exquisite map, published in Venice by Vincenzo Coronelli, offers a detailed representation of the Vicenza territory, extending from the Alps to the Gulf of Venice. The cartographic work is rich in detail: rivers, mountain passes, valleys, cities, roads, and regional borders are depicted with extraordinary precision. It is further embellished with numerous heraldic coats of arms and a large inset featuring a panoramic plan of the city of Vicenza; the city of Verona is also visible in the lower left.

Coronelli, a prominent figure in Baroque cartography, was not only a geographer but also a skilled engraver and scientist. Famous for his impressive terrestrial and celestial globes, created for sovereigns like Louis XIV, he elevated Venetian cartography to levels of excellence. This map is a perfect example of his unmistakable style: precise, decorative, and scientifically rigorous. A rare and precious work for collectors and scholars of historical Italian cartography.
