Maccà - Dell'Estensione Antica del Territorio Vicentino - 1793

"Dell'Estensione Antica del Territorio Vicentino" is a historical and geographical work from 1793 by the author Maccà that explores the ancient boundaries and territorial extent of the Vicenza region in Italy. Vicenza, situated in the Veneto region, has a rich history dating back to Roman times and beyond. This treatise delves into old maps, documents, and historical records to clarify how the land area of Vicenza and its environs evolved over centuries, shedding light on administrative changes, land ownership, and regional identity. Such works are invaluable for historians, geographers, and scholars interested in the historical geography of Italy, regional governance, and the socio-political developments influencing territorial definitions before the modern nation-state era. This 18th-century publication offers a window into how scholars of the time combined historical inquiry with cartographic analysis.
