Antonio Zatta was an Italian cartographer who was active during the late 18th century. He was known for producing high-quality maps and atlases that were widely recognized for their accuracy and aesthetic appeal.

One of Zatta's notable works is the "Atlas Novissimo," a comprehensive atlas that was published in multiple editions between 1775 and 1785. This atlas featured maps of various regions around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Zatta collaborated with prominent geographers and mapmakers of his time to gather the most up-to-date information and ensure the accuracy of his maps.

Within the "Atlas Novissimo," Zatta included a map titled "Mappamondo" or "Mappemonde," which translates to "world map" in English. This map depicted the continents, oceans, and major geographic features of the world known at the time. Zatta's world map of 1774 was one of the many cartographic representations of the world during that era, contributing to the collective understanding of global geography.
