The map of the ancient city of Orvieto engraved by Pietro Bertelli, first published in the renowned Theatrum Urbium Italicarum of 1599 in Venice, offers a detailed and evocative view of the city during the late Renaissance. This engraving captures Orvieto perched on a high elevation, surrounded by imposing fortified walls that enclose a complex array of historic buildings. The walls are punctuated by sturdy gates that allow access to the city, highlighting its strategic and defensive importance during that historical period. The surrounding hills are represented with great care, creating a harmonious and picturesque landscape context.
A striking visual element is the large coat of arms dominating part of the map, symbolizing Orvieto’s identity and authority at the height of its splendor. The engraving’s details also emphasize the monumental character of the city, suggesting a place rich in history, culture, and power. Bertelli’s work is a true masterpiece that transports the viewer on a journey through time, restoring all the charm of the Renaissance Umbrian city.
