225-Thyrrenian Sea Description: The map measures 46,5 x 65,6 cm and represents a large part of the Thyrrenian Sea. Down on the right are reported the author's name, the place and the date of the map's redaction: Iacobus Maiolus fecit cartam Genue anno domini 1567 diem ianuarii XXX. Further on the right we can see a very beautiful wind rose from which depart 32 directions crossing in 9 different points. It's a typical nautical chart, very beatiful even if very schematic. It shows the coast profil and gives a lot of interesting informations for the navigation. There is no description of the inside area.
