Gallery of Geographical Maps

Why go

The maps are both geographic images and part of a long architectural display. Danti’s cycle gives each stretch of the corridor a different territory, so moving through it feels like crossing a painted version of Italy. It is a particularly clear stop for visitors interested in how places were pictured before modern mapping.

What to look for

• Painted maps of Italian regions line the corridor.
• Ignazio Danti created the sixteenth-century map cycle.

Useful to know

• Compare two regions instead of trying to absorb every map at once.
