"The origins of this map image of Piedmont are partly unclear. The first traces are found in manuscript atlases by the Venetian cartographer and chartmaker Battista Agnese (1514-1564). The earliest known printed version was issued by an unnamed Venetian publisher in 1553. This was the model for the present adoption by Paolo Forlani, which is - for what ever reasons - orientated east." (Meurer)
