Description
Miniature map, first published by Pietro Maria Marchetti in "Theatro del mondo" (Brescia 1598), this example is taken from "Relationi universali di Giovanni Botero", Brescia 1599.
The second epitome of Abraham Ortelius’ folio !eatrum was produced in Italy by Pietro Maria Marchetti and the 109 new maps, by an unknown engraver, are accompanied by Italian text. The plates are close imitations of those of Philip Galle (see 1577 & 1583), likely the 1593 edition with Italian text.
These maps were also used by the same publisher to illustrate an edition of Giovanni Botero’s Le Relationi universali, probably issued in 1599 as its preface was dated 15 December 1598. Another edition published by Alessandro Vecchi, Venice, 1618, included a reissue of the 1599 sheets.
Theey were published again in 1655 (there were two issues with different title-pages and dedications dated 15 July & 20 September) and also 1667 in the "Theatro del mondo" by Giovanni Turrini e Scipion Banca.
Copperplate with fine later hand colour, in very good conditions. Rare.

Domenico LOVISA (Venezia 1690 circa – 1750 circa)
|
Italian publisher. His printing press was situated 'underneath the arches at Rialto' in Venice, and he is known almost exclusively for the publication of a series of large prints, titled Il Gran Teatro di Venezia ovvero descrizione esatta di cento delle più insigni prospettive e di altretante celebri pitture della medesima città. The first edition is undated, but it probably came out c. 1717. As originally planned, the series was to include 200 prints, but this ambition was not realized, and even the second edition (1720, 2 vols) has only c. 120 prints. The approximately 57 plates contained in the first volume reproduce paintings that hung in Venetian public buildings, including works by Veronese, Titian, Tintoretto, Palma Giovane. They were engraved by Andrea Zucchi, Domenico Rossetti (1650-1736), Giacomo Burri, Domenico Bonavera (b 1640), Pietro Sante Bartoli, Agostino dalla Via and others. The second volume contains a varying number (up to 66) of views of Venice (see exh. Cat., figs 279-82) engraved by Filippo Vasconi (1687-1730), Giuseppe Valeriani (d 1761), Carlo and Andrea Zucchi, as well as an unidentified monogrammist, S.F. This series was reprinted a number of times in the 18th century.
