Description
Pianta della città tratta dal celebre "Theatrum urbium Italicarum", raccolta di vedute urbane della penisola pubblicata per la prima volta a Venezia nel 1599. La prima edizione comprendeva cinquantanove tavole con piante e vedute prospettiche adespote, di mano di più incisori, accompagnate da una descrizione latina, che uscirono isolatamente stampate a Venezia (forse nella bottega di Francesco Bertelli), ma con la dedica datata sempre da Padova. Ignoto è l'autore del testo, anche se è stato affacciato (Mazzuchelli) che ne sia autore lo stesso Bertelli.
L'edizione, comunemente considerata seconda, uscì a Vicenza, nel 1616, per i tipi di Domenico Amadio, con titolo italiano di "Teatro delle città d'Italia", conl'aggiunta di alcune tavole (67 anziché 59), ma fu preceduta da una edizione non datata costituita dai rami senza testo.
Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Bertelli family represents the largest group of publishers, engravers, cartographers and merchants of prints of the sixteenth century. Ferrando Bertelli was the most productive, active between 1570, the 1560th, but maps of the last quarter of the century are known by the names of Andrea, Donato, Lucca, Nicholas and Peter. This was mainly active in Padua, where he led a workshop in letterpress and engravings. The earliest records show the asset at the date of 1589 as an engraver of several plates for an edition entitled Diversarum nationum habitus which was published in collaboration with Alciato Alciati. Pietro Bertelli had a library in Padua "the banner of the Angel". At his death the business was inherited by his son Francis. Perhaps son Ferrando Bertelli. He was active mainly in Padua, where he led a workshop in letterpress and engravings. The earliest records show the asset at the date of 1589 as an engraver of several plates for an edition entitled Diversarum nationum habitus which was published in collaboration with Alciato Alciati. Pietro Bertelli had a library in Padua "the banner of the Angel". At his death the business was inherited by his son Francis. Bibliography: Valerio, Cartographers Veneti, p. 149.
