🇮🇹 Italy Wall Map – National Geographic (1961 Edition)

Centennial Commemorative Map | Vintage Cartography | Premium Finishes

In November 1961, National Geographic marked the 100th anniversary of Italy’s unification with this elegant commemorative wall map. Published alongside an article celebrating this historic milestone, the map captures Italy in remarkable detail—geographically accurate and artistically presented in the refined style of mid-century National Geographic cartography.

Two inset city maps—Rome and Naples—offer a closer look at two of Italy’s most significant cultural and political centres, while the main map presents a full view of the peninsula, islands, and surrounding seas.

A true collector’s piece, this map blends rich historical context with decorative charm, making it equally suited for display in homes, libraries, offices, and study spaces.
