The attention to detail is remarkable as every contour and coastline is meticulously etched onto the map. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a period when exploration was at its peak. The map not only highlights the natural splendor of Friuli and Istria but also provides insight into their strategic importance within Europe.
