Pietro Bertelli's "Map of the ancient city of Verona", published in the famous "Theatrum Urbium Italicarum" in Venice in 1599, offers an evocative Renaissance view of one of the most fascinating cities in northern Italy. The map depicts ancient Verona in detail, with its distinctive Roman arena, a symbol of thousands of years of history, together with the imposing fortified walls and main gates that still today speak of its strategic and cultural role. The River Adige, which flows through the city, is also carefully depicted, enriching the scene with a natural element of great visual and historical impact.
The composition is enhanced by two large decorative coats of arms framing the map, lending artistic and symbolic value to the whole work. These details underline Verona's importance in the historical and geographical context of the Veneto, and also highlight Pietro Bertelli's artistic and cartographic skill.
