Description
Tavola tratta dall'edizione romana del "Itinerario, overo nova descrittione de' viaggi principali d'Italia […] di Francesco Scoto" edita per la prima volta nel 1650 da Filippo de Rossi, uno dei figli di Giuseppe de Rossi, capostipite della grande famiglia di editori romani.
Le tavole dell'edizione romana (realizzate tramite nuove lastre di rame) furono ristampate nelle edizioni successive - accresciute - dagli editori Michelangelo e Pier Vincenzo de Rossi (1669, 1700 e 1717) e quindi in quelle curate da Fausto Amidei, mercante di libri al Corso, che fece stampare da Antonio de Rossi nel 1737 la prime delle sue tre edizioni dell'Itinerario d'Italia di Francesco Scoto.
Le altre furono nel 1747 nella stamperia del Bernabò e Lazzarini e nel 1761 nella stamperia di Generoso Salomoni.
Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Franz Schott, Italianate as Francis Scot, was a native of Antwerp. Jurist and a great traveler, brother of the famous Andreas, a Jesuit philologist and antiquarian, wrote "Itinerario overo decrittione de' viaggi principali in Italia". The work appeared for the first time, written in Latin, in Antwerp in 1600 (Itinerarium Italiae), on the occasion of the Jubilee, to be used by pilgrims on their way to Italy. The work was subsequently published in numerous editions in Latin, Italian, French and English. The Itinerary of Italy Schott is the expression of a particular form of travel writing that, in the multiplicity and diversity of its manifestations, embraces all those texts that take on the character guide for the trip and offer as a tool aimed at guiding the traveler in its path.
