Atlases and geographical maps published by the Artaria firm in Milan date mainly to the 19th century, a period when the historic Artaria family (originally from Blevio in Brianza) was a reference point for music publishing, copper engraving, and cartography in Italy and Vienna. The prints and original volumes of the Artaria firm are today considered antiques and historical cartography pieces, often found at specialized auctions, municipal libraries, or historical archives.
