Topographic survey near Castiglione Aretino and the Chiana
Roads, rivers and hill-towns joined by distances measured in braccia, with marginal notes
This sheet is a topographic survey of an inland district. A pen route-list threads a chain of places — Montanina, Mammi, Castiglione Aretino, Vingone, Monterchio, the Chiane and the river Renello — punctuated by roads and by distances measured in braccia, ending at a sluice and a lake. The drawing itself renders the country as a bird's-eye map, with small vignettes of walled hill-towns, connecting roads, and a branching river system. Marginal jottings add the letters a b c and the name Antonio.
