Description
Carta geografica tratta dal Teatro delle città d’Italia di Pietro Bertelli del 1608.
La raccolta di cartografia urbana del Bertelli, edita per la prima volta nel 1599 con il titolo Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, si compone di 59 tavole accompagnate da descrizione latina, eseguite da più incisori. Viene ristampata, accresciuta, anche con il titolo italiano Teatro delle città d’Italia, per i tipi di Domenico Amadio.
Nella seconda edizione del 1608 viene inserita la carta dell'Italia.
Alla morte di Pietro , l’attività proseguì con suo figlio Francesco, anch’egli tipografo, incisore e editore. Il Teatro delle città d’Italia venne più volte ristampato e implementato da Francesco nel corso del secolo successivo.
Secondo Borri (ma non concordiamo) la carta apparirebbe per la prima volta nel Itinerarium nobiliorum Italiae Regionum di Francesco Scoto e Pietro Bertelli, stampato a Vicenza nel 1601. Della carta esistono alcune repliche molto simili, che si trovano inserite nelle copie del libro di Scoto.
Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Pietro BERTELLI (Padova 1571 - 1621)
|
Bertelli family represents the largest group of publishers, engravers, cartographers and merchants of prints of the sixteenth century. Ferrando Bertelli was the most productive, active between 1570, the 1560th, but maps of the last quarter of the century are known by the names of Andrea, Donato, Lucca, Nicholas and Peter. This was mainly active in Padua, where he led a workshop in letterpress and engravings. The earliest records show the asset at the date of 1589 as an engraver of several plates for an edition entitled Diversarum nationum habitus which was published in collaboration with Alciato Alciati. Pietro Bertelli had a library in Padua "the banner of the Angel". At his death the business was inherited by his son Francis. Perhaps son Ferrando Bertelli. He was active mainly in Padua, where he led a workshop in letterpress and engravings. The earliest records show the asset at the date of 1589 as an engraver of several plates for an edition entitled Diversarum nationum habitus which was published in collaboration with Alciato Alciati. Pietro Bertelli had a library in Padua "the banner of the Angel". At his death the business was inherited by his son Francis. Bibliography: Valerio, Cartographers Veneti, p. 149.
