In this section we present some historical maps preserved at the Geography Library and the Museum of Geography of the University of Padua, the first museum of its kind in Italy dedicated to Geography. Its patrimony has recently been considerably enriched thanks to the generous donation of Armando Morbiato, thus establishing the Morbiato Collection.

The historical maps were selected and analysed by Chiara Gallanti, curator of the Museum, and by Chiara Forner and Marco Napolitano, history students. They are also responsible for the map records. For any reference or quotation, please attribute the authorship to Chiara Gallanti, Chiara Forner and Marco Napolitano.
