🇮🇹 Italy Wall Map – National Geographic (1995 Edition)
Physical & Political Map | Rich Detail | Premium Finishes
Published in February 1995 as part of a special two–map set with Historical Italy and accompanied by a National Geographic feature on Venice, this beautifully detailed wall map presents both the physical and political geography of Italy. With its striking shaded relief, precise bathymetry, and wealth of travel and cultural details, it is as much a decorative statement as it is an educational resource.
