An exceptionally beautiful example of john cary’s important 1799 map of italy. Includes the peninsula of italy as well as the islands of corsica, sardinia and sicily. Extends north as far as switzerland and tyrol. When this map was made italy had yet to begin its campaign for national solidarity.

Northern italy is divided into numerous smaller duchies and republics including venice, parma, mantua, modena, milan, piedmont, savoy, et al.
