Descriptive Note Text

The Pianta Monumentale was published by the Turinese publishers Ajassa and Ferrato, who also published the Guida pratica della Esposizione Internazionale di Torino 1911, which included a copy of the same map. The map sold for 30 centesimi (cents). It is very similar, but not identical, to the map featured in the Touring Club Guide. The cover features the allegorical figure for the motherland known as "Italia turrita." Italia is represented as a woman of classical beauty wearing a crown "with towers." The towers represent the Italian history of independent "comuni" or city states.
