 The map of the ancient city of Siena, created by Pietro Bertelli and included in the famous Theatrum Urbium Italicarum first published in Venice in 1599, offers a detailed and evocative view of this historic Tuscan city. The engraving shows Siena from above, allowing an appreciation of its urban layout and especially its impressive defensive system composed of sturdy fortified walls. The main city gates are clearly indicated: Santo Viene, Ouile, Camuolia, Fonte Branda, Saterino, San Marco, Tusi, and Romana, elements that emphasize the control of access points and the Renaissance defensive structure of the city.

This figurative representation of Siena is one of the first historical views available and testifies to the strategic, architectural, and cultural importance of the city in the late 16th century. The attention to detail, both in the depiction of the walls and gates and in the harmonious composition of the city, reflects Bertelli’s engraving mastery and enhances the entire urban context within its historical environment. The map is a fascinating Renaissance testimony of Siena’s identity.
