 The map of the ancient city of Mantua, created by Pietro Bertelli, is a detailed perspective view that is part of the famous collection Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, first published in Venice in 1599. The engraving offers a striking bird's-eye panorama of the city, showing not only Mantua itself but also the surrounding lake, thus highlighting the relationship between the city and its natural environment. The depiction stands out for its precise delineation of bridges, gates, and the sturdy fortified walls that protected the settlement, key elements in the urban organization of the period.

The map is enriched by two large coats of arms: one at the top left representing the Gonzaga family crest, the historic rulers of Mantua, and an oval one on the right with the profile of Virgil, the famous Mantuan poet, giving the view both historical and cultural value. Printed on laid paper with excellent engraving quality, this image not only documents the structure and life of the city in the 16th century but also celebrates Mantua’s artistic and political importance in the context of Italian cities of the time.
