EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a rare and exquisite glimpse into the past, showcasing the Italian city of Rimini as it appeared in the late 16th century, as depicted in the renowned atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius. The engraving, created in 1570, is part of the vast collection housed in the Library Estense in Modena, Italy. The meticulously detailed illustration highlights the strategic location of Rimini along the Adriatic Sea, nestled between the Emilia-Romagna region and the Apennine Mountains. The city's port is clearly visible, with ships anchored in the harbor, signaling the importance of maritime trade during this era. The intricate line work and vibrant colors bring to life the city's architectural gems, including the ancient Arch of Augustus and the imposing Malatesta Temple. This historical map offers a fascinating window into the world of 16th-century geography and cartography, providing a valuable record of the past and a testament to the artistic mastery of Abraham Ortelius.
