This fine map of Italy extends to include Corsica and Sardinia in the west and the Dalmatian coast in the east, which was controlled by the Republic of Venice at the time. It is filled with detail including towns, cities, rivers, and pictorial topography. Mt. Etna is shown erupting on Sicily and a raging battle fills the sea. Decorated by a banner-style title cartouche held aloft by Putti with Europa at their side.
