Description
The Descrizione del Regno delle Due Sicilie, first published in 1854, is a cartographic update to the previous production of the cartographer himself.
Nonetheless, even more important in the atlas are orography, administrative division and read and train network.
The 24 maps that form the collection are therefore the most important document on Southern regions, right before Italy was unified. Eight maps depict Sicily, divided in seven provinces.
Litograph with original outline colour, very good condition.

Designer surveyor and lithographer, and cartographer, geographer and member of the Commission of Statistics, Ministry of Interior. Character of great importance in the Neapolitan and Italian maps of the nineteenth century, Marzolla won awards and certificates in public life for the cartographic production of high quality. His reputation has slowly dissolved after death, it should be observed that only the lack of a strong political involvement in the Risorgimento and the sense of literary value in his work not made him famous contemporaries such as Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (1805-1858) and Attilio Zuccagni Orlandini (1783-1872), with which it can certainly deal with. Cultural projects and educational publishing Marzolla were and remain extraordinary modernity, he invented, it is appropriate to say, a new way of understanding and to draw the map, providing a totally original data communication through a combination of geographic text and image. With this, he managed to merge into a single work, history, geography, economics, statistics and maps, reaching an equilibrium graph with outstanding performance.
