Historic map of the city of Mantua seen from above, from the late sixteenth century, created by Georg Braun. It is part of the collection "Civitates Orbis Terrarum".
The map illustrates Mantua, situated amidst the Mincio lakes, as if it were a second Venice. In the lower part of the map, the bridge connecting Mantua to the mainland is highlighted. As can be seen, the extent of the lakes at the time was larger than it is today. In the lower left corner of the map there is an inscription.
Georg Braun also Brunus or Bruin was a German cartographer.

Our reproductions are faithful to the original and printed on fine Amalfi paper.
It is a paper made exclusively from cotton fibers, thick and naturally porous, yet soft to the touch, with characteristic frayed edges that attest to its artisanal craftsmanship.
It is still made today according to ancient medieval techniques, in the workshops of Amalfi.
