Description

The second state of the map of the Kingdom of Naples is oriented to the northeast—orientation with the name of the four winds TRAMONTANA, OSTRO, PONENTE, LEVANTE.
At the bottom, in the center, a compass highlights the Miles scale. Anonymous map, without date or editorial indications. This is a replica of the Kingdom of Naples by Ziletti of 1557 and its derivations. From a cartographic point of view, it appears to be a true copy of the Lafreri map, with very small differences in the toponyms, such as the omission of the thalassonym in the Ionian Sea, which on the Lafreri map is indicated as TEMPLE OF JUPITER.
The element that distinguishes it most is the curious representation of Sicily as a small island, which goes from the Messina Lighthouse to Etna and Capo d'Orlando. The title, inserted in the cartouche at the top, is detached from the Gargano promontory, unlike the Lafreri map.
