In 1620, the Italian cartographer and astronomer Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555–1617) published the map “Principato citra Picentia”, a detailed representation of the southern Italian province corresponding roughly to present-day Province of Salerno in Campania. Magini, a professor of astronomy at the University of Bologna and one of the most significant cartographers of the late Renaissance, devoted much of his career to compiling the monumental Atlante geografico d’Italia, the first comprehensive printed atlas of Italy. Although Magini died in 1617, his son, Ludovico Magini, oversaw the posthumous completion and publication of the atlas in 1620.

The “Principato citra Picentia” map reflects Magini’s meticulous attention to both geographical accuracy and aesthetic presentation. Towns, villages, rivers, and mountain ranges are carefully engraved, while elaborate cartouches and decorative elements reflect the artistic traditions of early 17th-century mapmaking. The map served not only as a practical geographic reference but also as a symbol of regional identity within the Spanish-ruled Kingdom of Naples. By integrating scientific precision with artistic flourish, Magini’s work bridged the worlds of Renaissance humanism and early modern science.
