In Venice, the Fra Mauro map is a must-see.

We were lucky enough to have it shipped to Australia some years back for a big mapping exhibition, the first time it had ever left Italy.

Colleagues:


I will be visiting Greece, Croatia, and Italy in a few weeks. I assume I
will be visiting the Italian mapping agency in Florence:

And this morning I booked my Vatican tickets to include the Gallery of Maps.

I welcome mappy recommendations for other locations: Athens, Split,
Venice, Bologna, and a few other places in between.

Thanks in advance!
