Description
Rizzi Zannoni is considered the most important Italian cartographer since Giovanni Antonio Magini. He worked in France, Padua and above all in Naples (1781/1814), where he was so appointed “geographer of the King” by the Borbone, a role he kept also after the French arrival. In 1807 Giuseppe Bonaparte appointed him head of the Deposito topografico; in 1812, under Gioacchino Murat, he printed the last sheet, of 31, which were part of his geographic atlas, starter in 1788. The woks he realized in Naples along thirty years made him the greatest modern cartographer in Italy and one of the most influential in Europe. A very decorative cartouche. Copper engraving, laid on canvas and kept in a box, in excelent condition. Engraved by Vincenzo Aloia.
