When this map was published, Italy was under the domination of the Habsburg Monarchy and much of Northern Italy was embroiled in the Italian campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars. The Estates of the Church cover most of the modern regions of Romagna, Marche, Umbria and Lazio. Corsica belongs to France and Sardinia is linked with Piedmont and Savoy. Engraved by Thomas Conder.
