Giovanni Cardamone (Author)
La Carta topografica del Real Sito dei Colli, comprendente quella vasta area a nord della città di Palermo fino al mare, magistralmente raffigurata da Pietro Martorana nel dipinto riprodotto in copertina, fu ordinata nel 1814 da Ferdinando IV di Borbone e interamente realizzata tra il 1816 e il 1817 presso il Regio Officio Topografico di Palermo. L’Autore, oltre che descrivere ed esaminare criticamente tale preziosa fonte documentaria, appartenente al fondo Palatino della Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli, si sofferma anche su altri disegni “preparatori” della stessa, conservati presso la Cartoteca dell’I.G.M. di Firenze. Al di là del suo valore intrinseco, la Carta ci aiuta a comprendere e valutare quanto si andava facendo in campo cartografico nel Mezzogiorno e in Sicilia nel primo ventennio del XIX secolo. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The topographic map of the Real Sito dei Colli, including the vast area north of the city of Palermo up to the sea, depicted by Pietro Martorana, was ordered in 1814 by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon and created between 1816 and 1817 at the Royal Topographical Office of Palermo. The author, in addition to describing and critically examining this precious documentary source (which belongs to the Palatine fund of the National Library of Naples), also dwells on other "preparatory" drawings which are now kept in the "Cartoteca" of the Military Geographical Institute of Florence. Beyond its intrinsic value, the map helps us to understand and evaluate what was being done in the field of cartography in southern Italy and in Sicily in the first twenty years of the nineteenth century.]
