EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in the rich history and topography of Cherasco, Cuneo, and its surrounding areas in Italy. The meticulously detailed map from 1720 showcases the town nestled amidst majestic mountains and rolling hills. Its old-fashioned charm is evident through the use of Western script and engraved images. The vertical composition allows for a comprehensive aerial view that reveals the landscape's natural beauty. With no people present, we are left to marvel at this non-urban scene, appreciating how human settlement harmoniously coexists with nature. As we examine this piece of art and craft closely, it becomes clear that it served as more than just an aesthetic representation. This cartographic gem was a navigational tool used by travelers seeking guidance during their journeys through Piedmont region. The map transports us to a time when technology such as navigational equipment was still in its infancy. It reminds us of our ancestors' reliance on maps like these to navigate unfamiliar territories. Through this image, we are reminded not only of Cherasco's historical significance but also of humanity's innate curiosity about our surroundings. It serves as a testament to our desire for exploration and understanding – traits that have shaped both our past and present-day world.
