The antique map titled ‘Riviera Di Genova Da Ponente’ was created in 1665 and showcases the Italian region of Liguria, located in the northwest part of the country. The title translates to ‘Genoa Riviera from the West’ and indicates that the map covers the coastline of the Ligurian Sea. In the early 17th century, Italy was a collection of independent city-states and territories, with the Papal States controlling much of central Italy. The country was also heavily influenced by the Renaissance movement, which had started in Italy in the 14th century. The map may show some towns and cities, including Mondovì, Cuneo, and Savona, which were located centrally, but it does not provide too many details. The region borders France to the west and has been a historically significant area due to its strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea.
