Description
Map of the city, published for the first time in 1599 in Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, a series of 59 plates with views and maps; then reprinted, increased, even with the Italian title Teatro delle città d'Italia, for the types of Domenico Amadio.
This example is taken from the Universus terrarum orbis scriptorum calamo delineatus ... qui de Europae, Asiae, Africae, & Americae regnis, provinciis, populis, civitatibus.... by Raffaello Savonarola, under the pseudonym of Lasor a Varea (or Varela), published in Padua (1713, Matteo Cadorin).
The book was a kind of encyclopedia containing news about the various localities of the world arranged in alphabetical order, enriched with maps and views of the whole world belonging to famous cartographic collections of the past-Bertelli, Valegio, Camocio, Bonifacio, Nelli, Magini, and others-of which the publisher Cadorin probably owned the original plates.
Copper engraving with fine later hand colour, in excellent condition.

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.
