Genova



I just booked a flight to Genova. The picture shows Hartmann Schedels map of Genua, published 1493 in Nürnberg. Well, I guess I better add also a picture of the 1492 Martin Behaim Globe (also Nürnberg) before Alexander starts complaining. ;-)

You might consider using slightly more modern maps for your travel arrangements. Although they are far from the beauty of Beheim's Globes, they might take account of the continental dift, which seems to have moved Italy by some distance since Beheim's time...
