Vintage monumental map of Genoa - ca. 1950

This illustrated monumental map presents the city of Genoa (Genova) with particular emphasis on its most important buildings and monuments. The map is drawn in a pictorial style, where key buildings are shown in perspective, giving a sense of relief and facilitating site identification. The port area (Porto) of Genoa is highlighted in a distinctive blue-green color, contrasting with the pale yellow of the urban areas. Numerous numbered and lettered legends link to a detailed list of palaces, churches, museums, theaters, and other points of interest, located at the bottom of the map (including the Palazzo Ducale, the Cattedrale S. Lorenzo, the Teatro Paganini, etc.). The topography of the city, with its winding streets and development around the harbor, is clearly illustrated. The map measures approximately 50 cm by 35 cm.
