A scarce early 17th century townplan of Venice

PAOLI, Giovanni Antonio de.

Venetia.
Rome: de Paoli, c.1620. 385 x 515mm.

A few tiny wornholes in vignettes filled, otherwise a very fine example.

A rare map of Venice presented as a bird's-eye view, with the buildings shown in perspective and the lagoon filled with galleys and galleons. Underneath are the key, inset views of Piazza de San Marco and the Rialto Bridge, and a scene of a procession of the Doge, pilgrims returning from the Holy Land and important women of Venice.

MORETTO: Venetia, 42.
