AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The map offers a detailed geopolitical representation of the Alpine, pre-Alpine, and central-eastern Po Valley area, straddling the late 17th and early 18th centuries, a region of crucial strategic and military importance during the War of the Spanish Succession.
• Prince-Bishoprics of Trento and Bressanone: Highlighted in the central and central-western section (colored yellow/ochre), formally part of the Holy Roman Empire but closely tied to Italian and Tyrolean dynamics.
• County of Tyrol: Depicted in the upper and northwestern part, under the rule of the Austrian Habsburgs.
• The dominions of the Republic of Venice: Extending in the lower and central-eastern part (colored green). The territories of the Venetian mainland are clearly visible: Cadore, Belluno, Friuli (with Udine, Palmanova and Aquileia) and the Trevigiano, reaching the Gulf of Venice (the Adriatic Sea).
• Engraving and Toponymy: The mountainous reliefs are rendered in a perspective akin to a “molehill” view, while the dense hydrographic network accurately shows the courses of the Adige, Piave, Tagliamento, and other Alpine rivers. The main toponyms combine the French spelling of the era with the local one (e.g., Bolzano, Trent, Brixen, Bormio, Gorice).
