6629 Ambroise Tardieu - Plan of Piacenza and Its Environs – Copperplate Engraving – c.1810–1820
This detailed copperplate map of Piacenza and its surrounding region in Emilia-Romagna was engraved by Ambroise Tardieu and published in 1816. Designed with both strategic and topographical clarity, the map outlines the city's urban fabric, surrounding agricultural zones, and important transit routes. Typical of early 19th-century French cartographic work, it combines fine engraving technique with practical military and administrative detail. Piacenza, with its location near the Po River and the Apennine foothills, was of notable importance in regional planning and military campaigns, making such maps essential to contemporary understanding.
Ambroise Tardieu (1788–1841) was a prominent French engraver, cartographer, and publisher active during the early 19th century. Nephew of Pierre François Tardieu, he produced a wide array of scientific, medical, and geographic engravings. His maps are known for their clarity, technical precision, and contribution to both educational and official cartographic publications in France.
