Description

This exquisite city plan/view of Palermo, extracted from Pietro Bertelli's seminal work Theatrum Urbium Italicarum, first published in Venice in 1599, offers a detailed and intricate depiction of the Sicilian capital during the late 16th century.

Palermo, the historic capital of Sicily, has long been a melting pot of cultures, influenced by its diverse rulers including the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish. By the late 16th century, when Bertelli's work was published, Palermo was a bustling hub of trade and culture, reflecting the architectural and urban planning advances of the Renaissance period. The city was known for its strategic maritime position and rich cultural heritage, making it a significant subject for cartographers and historians alike.

Bertelli's view captures the essence of the city's layout and key landmarks. The map is characterized by its bird’s-eye perspective, which allows for a comprehensive view of the urban sprawl and architectural highlights.
