Historical map of Florence from the late 16th century, created by Stefano Bonsignori in 1584. It is an engraving.
The map illustrates Florence divided by the Arno, and organized into districts according to the city plan then in force. One can note the urbanized parts, and therefore the buildings, palaces, houses, etc. In the upper left corner there is a compass rose. While the lower right corner shows a legend.
The map is displayed at the Museo di Firenze Com'era, Florence.
Stefano Bonsignori, also known as Buonsignori (Florence, ... – Florence, September 21, 1589), was an Italian cartographer.
An Olivetan monk, he served Francesco I de Medici, becoming the Grand Duke's official cosmographer.
