The map of the ancient city of Gallipoli, engraved by Pietro Bertelli and first published in the celebrated Theatrum Urbium Italicarum in Venice in 1599, offers a detailed and evocative view of this fortified city in southern Italy. The engraving depicts Gallipoli as a fortified island, connected to the mainland by a bridge spanning the coast, underscoring its strategic and commercial importance in the Mediterranean. The island's sturdy walls, along with its gates, clearly demonstrate the defensive system that protected the city. The scene also features several sailing ships anchored nearby, a reminder of Gallipoli's maritime and mercantile importance in the late Renaissance.

Two elegant decorative coats of arms enrich the composition, symbolizing local identity and authority, and lending the map artistic as well as historical value. The precision of the details and the attention to the urban and seascape convey the vitality and dynamism of a port that served as a bridge between Mediterranean cultures and trade routes. A work that transports the viewer on a journey through time, revealing all the charm and history of Gallipoli in 16th-century southern Italy.
