Description
Rara carta del Golfo di Venezia (Mar Adriatico) che raffigura la costa balcanica fino a Corfù e gran parte della Penisola, ad eccezione del Piemonte occidentale, della Calabria Ulteriore e delle due isole maggiori.
Esemplare nel secondo stato di tre, con l’iscrizione nel cartiglio in basso a sinistra, dove si legge: Al molto Mag.co m. Andrea Gradenico del Clariss.o m. Zorzi fu del Clariss.o m. Iacomo miei patroni oss.mi Ricordomi che un giorno in Casa Sua Mag.co Sig.r mio ragionando ura Ma co[n] il sudetto Cl.mo suo padre gli fece alcuni quesiti sopra le cose di Geographia sop.a il qual suggetto udì belli discorsi, di modo che vedendola in cosi tenera etade tanto adornata di questa bella scientia. rara in molti ne presi da me assai admiration, et per tal causa, si come gli era ser.r Affettionato, li diventai affettionatissi.o: sic he havend io fatto fare adesso il presente Golfo di Vinegia con parte dell’Italia in questa picciola forma, ho volute dedicarglilo per mostrarmegli con perpetuo testimonio affettionatiss.o di Casa di sua Mag.ia alla buona gratia di la quale mi racc.o Di Venegia alli 6 di ott.e 1571. Di vostra Magnificia Humile Servo Giovanni Fran.co Camotio.
Orientazione fornita da una rosa dei venti nel Mar Adriatico, il nord è in alto. Carta priva di scala grafica. Graduazione ai margini di grado in grado, da 38° 32’ a 45° 28’ di latitudine e da 27° 10’ a 40° 20’ (29°50’ a 43°20’ in alto) di longitudine.
“La carta, molto simile per impostazione ed informazioni a quella dello Zenoi (1567), non contempla tutta la penisola; mancano infatti parte del Piemonte, della Calabria, della Corsica e del tutto Sicilia e Sardegna. Uscita come pubblicazione separata, allo stesso modo di tutte le carte di piccolo formato del Camocio, venne successivamente numerata ed inserita nel celebre Isole famose, porti, fortezze, e terre marittime sottoposte alla Ser.ma Sig.ria di Venetia, adaltri Principi Christiani, et al Sig.or Turco, novamente poste in luce, in Venezia. Una prova di stampa dell’opera, con il cartiglio privo di qualsiasi iscrizione, è conservata nella raccolta cinquecentesca dell’Archivio di Stato di Torino (Z.III.4) ed in una, di formato ridotto, del Museo Correr (E 1447) già descritta da Gallo; circostanza che dimostra come le carte di piccolo formato del Camocio circolassero già prima di essere inserite nelle Isole Famose. Alla morte dell’editore (1575), la lastra fu acquisita da Donato Bertelli che la ristampò aggiungendo una numerazione sequenziale. Tale tiratura è quella inserita nell’edizione dell’opera che reca nel frontespizio l’imprint In Venetia alla libreria del segno di San Marco” (cfr. Cartografia e Topografia Italiana del XVI secolo, p. 1832, n. 918).

Giovanni Francesco CAMOCIO (Attivo a Venezia tra 1558 - 1575)
|
Publisher Venetian, born in the first half of the century. XVI, in an uncertain place, perhaps in Asolo (Treviso) perhaps Slot (Cream). Most likely the first hypothesis because the presence of Camocio family, originally from Piedmont, is widely documented in the town of Treviso. The family Camocio, also belonged the celebrated Hellenist John the Baptist, considered by some historians, relatives and even John's brother Francis. Camocio already resident in Venice, the Doge in 1552 asked for and obtained, together with other shareholders, as editor, the privilege for fifteen years to publish the translation into Latin of the writings of Greek authors. In his book publisher, is also attributed some ten editions in Health (until 1571). The main activity of Camocio, owner of the library "The symbolism of the Pyramid" in San Lio in Haberdashery, was the sale of prints and engravings, intaglio reproductions of important works of art and maps, while his activities as a publisher of books is fragmented and delayed in time. At the "Pyramid" is also sold books on spicy, like the sonnets printed by Domenico Zenoi, which earned him the payment of a fine: 10 ducats to the author and owner of 5 ducats a library. Camocio was one of the largest publishers of maps of the sixteenth century, all produced in a laboratory chalcographic definitely its own. Although it is very difficult to determine precisely how many cards you collected and managed to produce and print, because of the ease with which, over time, they falsified the names of authors, publishers, and dates were changed. However, the presence of his name in many papers and his demands for privilege testify to his busy schedule. Subjects taken by great artists such as Titian and Michelangelo, views of cities, fortresses and maps, for the realization of which were called to work as evidenced by the signatures on the cards, engravers and cartographers of the value of Domenico Zenoi (Zenoni), Donato and Ferdinand (Ferdinand) Bertelli, Paolo Furlani (Forlani) and Giacomo Gastaldi.
