A charming small map of parts of northern and central Italy, extending as far north as Venice, west to Monaco, and south to Rome. This travel map focuses on the towns and roads that connect major cities. A scroll-shaped inset at bottom left continues the western coastline and road from Rome to Naples, while a similar inset at top left shows the road from Venice towards Germany through the city of Pontebba.
