A spectacular and historically important 18th century wall-map of the Republic of Genoa. Details In many ways, this beautifully composed chart of the Republic of Genoa epitomizes why we love maps. It is deeply evocative, not only of a time in which Italy remained segregated into republics and principalities, but indeed of the dramatic landscapes of the French and Italian Rivieras that once constituted the Republic of Genoa. It is thus that each time we engage with this map, different details seem to jump off the page. Sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is the natural topography: the way the mountains of Liguria press right up to the sea, giving shape to the dramatic and picturesque port towns of Portofino, Sanremo, and Monaco, and the fashionable beach towns of Antibes, Nice, and Cannes. Other times, this is a map that makes us think about power both gained and lost for at the center of the map we find the heart of the Republic: the great city of Genoa. The Republic of Genoa was a dominant maritime power and far-reaching mini-empire that existed for almost seven centuries. And yet, the end was near, and before the turn of the century, Napoleon would erase it from the map. In that sense, this map constitutes an historically important documentation of a key region in Europe on the cusp of change. Neatline is famous for its detailed and in-depth descriptions.
