This unusual and uncommon Italian map shows the eastern United States and the Great Lakes. It appears to have been published around the time of the Revolutionary War, with the Eastern Seaboard labeled Provincie Unite. Many rivers, forts, and Indian lands are shown, as are a handful of towns and cities, including Filadelfia, New York, Albania (Albany), and Savanah. The Appalachian Mountains are prominent and seem to serve as the boundary between the United States and western lands. An oversized Florida appears between the Appalachians and the Louisiana territory (Luigiana) west of the Mississippi. Within its bounds is Alibamous, a settlement along the Mobile River. A decorative title cartouche appears in unengraved Canada.
