Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi was an Italian mapmaker and publisher in the late 17th century. In 1679, he created a map of Ancient Persia, which depicted the regions and provinces of the historical Persian Empire.

During ancient times, the Persian Empire was a vast and powerful kingdom that existed from approximately 550 BCE to 330 BCE. It encompassed various regions of modern-day Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and parts of Central Asia and the Caucasus.

De Rossi was part of a prominent family of cartographers and publishers. He was the nephew of Giacomo de Rossi, a well-known engraver and publisher, and he inherited the family business upon his uncle's death. De Rossi continued to publish maps, atlases, and prints, collaborating with various cartographers and artists of the time.

De Rossi's works often featured accurate and detailed maps, which were highly regarded for their artistic and cartographic quality. He published maps of various regions, including Italy, Europe, and other parts of the world. His maps were based on the best available geographic information of the time, and he collaborated with notable cartographers and geographers to ensure their accuracy.

In addition to his cartographic works, de Rossi was also involved in the publication of other types of prints, including religious and historical illustrations. His publications were widely distributed and influenced the cartographic and publishing industry during the late 17th century.

Today, Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi is recognized as an important figure in the history of cartography and is appreciated for his contributions to the field. His maps and prints are sought after by collectors and scholars interested in historical cartography.
