Framed 'ROMA PRESENTE E AVVENIRE' Map

The item is a framed historical map of Rome, titled "ROMA PRESENTE E AVVENIRE" (Rome Present and Future). The map is rectangular and appears to be of standard poster size, likely printed on paper. It depicts the city of Rome with a high level of detail, showing street layouts, buildings, green spaces, and the Tiber River, which is prominently rendered in a light blue hue. Different areas or features of the city are highlighted with various colors, predominantly shades of pinkish-red for urban areas and light green/brown for open spaces, characteristic of cartography from the late 19th or early 20th century. The map has a historical aesthetic, indicative of an older production. It is housed within a simple, light-colored, possibly silver-toned or brushed aluminum, metal frame. The frame has a slim profile, consistent with modern framing styles, suggesting that the map itself might be a reproduction or an original antique piece that has been recently framed for display. There are no obvious signs of significant damage to the map itself visible through the frame, although direct inspection for creases, tears, or fading is impossible from the image. The glass or acrylic covering the map appears clear but shows some reflections, typical of framed items. The overall condition appears good for display, with the framing protecting the print. The crafting of the map itself indicates attention to detail, common in historical cartography, likely mass-produced for educational or decorative purposes.
