Information

48 x 36
Very rare map depicting the eastern coast of Genoa between Sestri and the Magra River. Drawn by Magini in 1597, it derives from unpublished cartographic materials and is the FIRST REPRESENTATION OF LIGURIA . Engraved by Arnoldo di Arnoldi, it is a first version of the map never published in the Magini Atlas . Marginal browning in the lower part.

The table was published in 1597 in Bologna but was later redrawn by the Bolognese cartographer to fill obvious gaps and imperfections, attributable to the scarce and incomplete cartographic sources in Magini's possession at the time.
