Italy - Vedeseta

An extraordinary opportunity for collectors of antique cartography, local historians, hikers, and military memorabilia enthusiasts: a homogeneous lot of 4 official topographic maps at 1:25,000 scale from the Military Geographic Institute (IGM). The maps were produced by the IGM (Istituto Geografico Militare) of Florence, the official body of the Italian State founded after the unification of Italy for precise land surveying and mapping. The IGM is internationally recognized for technical expertise, contour accuracy, and the aesthetic value of its topographic depictions, decades rewarded as a European standard of cartographic excellence. The lot comprises four field-mounted maps, designed to be folded and consulted in operational use without damage: - Barzio: Including the Valsassina, the Bobbio plains, and the surrounding peaks (with highlighted routes). - Oggiono: Detailed color map including Lake Annone, Lake Garlate, Lake Olginate, and the Lecco area and the Adda River. - Palazzago: Pre-Alpine territory between the Valle Imagna, Monte Marenzo, and the Bergamasque hills. - Vedeseta: High-altitude mountainous area straddling Val Taleggio and Lecco. Objects of strong visual impact and understated elegance, perfect both for collection in a case and for day-to-day display to enhance studies, offices, or design-oriented environments. Finding such a well-preserved, contiguous group of IGM era maps mounted on canvas is a true rarity on the market. In addition to their undeniable historical and documentary value, these maps constitute a splendid decorative element for professional studies, homes, or mountain settings. An unmissable opportunity for enthusiasts of local history, vintage hiking, cartography, and exemplary military memorabilia.
