Pub Note:
Atlas companion volume to a course on commercial geography. Every map page has the heading, "Geografia Commerciale". Relief shown in hachures. Outline color. In 1843 Marmocchi published the Nuovo Atlante Cosmografico (P887). It is probably the most accomplished work of Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (Poggibonsi, 1805-1858), a renowned geographer and cartographer. Of Mazzini's sympathies, Marmocchi took part in the riots of 1831, when he was jailed. In 1848 he became deputy in the Tuscan Parliament, and then held the office of Secretary of the Interior under Guerrazzi. He traveled extensively and made many geographical studies.
