AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating illuminated tabletop globe produced in Italy by the historic Nova Rico brand (Florence).
This model stands out for its double dynamic cartography: when the light is off it presents a clear and detailed political map, with states and borders well defined; once switched on, the internal illumination reveals the underlying physical cartography, highlighting mountain reliefs, orographic ranges, and the morphology of ocean floor features.
Equipped with a half-transparent graduated meridian for measuring latitude and a stable black circular base. An elegant vintage furnishing item, perfect for study rooms, offices, or home environments.
