Hi Michael:
The area is shown on Carta d'Italia 1:50,000, sheets 631 & 632,
published in 1971, which we have in our collection. These topo maps are
bilingual Italian/English and show admin. boundaries down to the 4th
level, i.e. Comunes, but because of the hill shading it's very
difficult to decipher the boundary lines. I think you'll need a larger
scale topo series, an administrative divisions map, or possibly a very
detailed atlas in order to precisely interpret the boundary lines.
Hope this (sort of) helps...
Best,
Tim Ross
