Pianta ed alzata della citta di Napoli Fatta con ogni effatezza novamente data alla luce dalle sue stampe da Paolo Petrini e

Rare bird's eye view of Naples, first published in 1696. Example of the third edition, with the imprint "Napoli 1748".

Petrini's view is the first map of great editorial work produced in Naples for clear commercial purposes.

Although its derivation from the great seventeenth-century view of Orlandi - Perrey - Baratta is evident, this plant, with its particular geographical construction, will become a reference prototype for the future cartographic production.

The view is dedicated to the Marquis Pompeo Azzolini.

Between 1967 and 1698, the map was implemented with the inclusion of twenty-one views of the city to frame the great central view.

The delineator of both the central and the surrounding views was Francesco Cassiano de Silva.

On the left and in the center, two decorative cartouches with dedication and title, both adorned with figures, floral decorations and, on the left one, a coat of arms.

Etching engraving finished with burin. A good impresson, printed on laid paper, with original colouring (refreshed), in good condition.
