Description
Perspective view of the city taken from the Itinerario d'Italia by Francesco Scoto, published in Padua by Matteo Cadorin, whose name can be read at the bottom right "In Padova per Matteo Cadorin".
Matteo Cadorin, called the "Bolzetta" being related to the family of Francesco Bolzetta, published several editions of the Itinerario, beginning in 1654.
The publisher continued, always printing in Padua, in 1659 with at least two separate editions, then in 1669 and 1670. This last publication has a richer iconographic apparatus than the others and in the plates was added "In Padova per Matteo Cadorin".
Etching, trace of the editorial fold at the center, sporadic blooming, generally in good condition.

Franz Schott, Italianate as Francis Scot, was a native of Antwerp. Jurist and a great traveler, brother of the famous Andreas, a Jesuit philologist and antiquarian, wrote "Itinerario overo decrittione de' viaggi principali in Italia". The work appeared for the first time, written in Latin, in Antwerp in 1600 (Itinerarium Italiae), on the occasion of the Jubilee, to be used by pilgrims on their way to Italy. The work was subsequently published in numerous editions in Latin, Italian, French and English. The Itinerary of Italy Schott is the expression of a particular form of travel writing that, in the multiplicity and diversity of its manifestations, embraces all those texts that take on the character guide for the trip and offer as a tool aimed at guiding the traveler in its path.
