La Sala Delle Carte Geografiche in Palazzo Vecchio: Capriccio Et Invenzione Nata Dal Duca Cosimo - Softcover
This illustrated edition shows the Earth as it was known in the sixteenth century through the maps and images of the Map Room in the Florentine Palazzo Vecchio. Different contributions (by Monica Consoli, Massimo Marcolin, Paola Pacetti, Valentina Zucchi) examine in particular the 53 panels depicting various countries as well as the large central globe.
