Italy North, street map 1:500,000

Northern Italy at 1:500,000 from Freytag & Berndt with coverage extending just past Sienna and Arezzo. Index booklet provides street plans of Ancona, Bolzano, Genoa, plus central Florence, Milan, Rome, Turin and Venice.

Bold relief shading with plenty of names of geographical features provides a good presentation of the country’s topography, both in the northern part where the coverage extends to include most of southern Switzerland and the Austrian Alps south of Innsbruck, and along the spine of the Apennines.

Road network includes many small local roads, most with driving distances. Gradients are marked on steep roads. The railway network and ferry connections are included. Symbols highlight some places of interest, including national parks, but the map is basically designed to show the road network rather than the country’s great artistic and historical heritage. The map has latitude and longitude lines at intervals of 30’. Multilingual map legend includes Englis
