Giovanni Battista Nicolosi (1610-1670) was a priest and cartographer for the Vatican's Propaganda Fide in Rome. In 1652, motivated by Sanson's new work, the Propoganda Fide of Rome commissioned Nicolosi to produce an atlas, which would become Nicolosi's Dell' Hercole e Studio Geografico, published in 1660 and a Latin edition in 1671. The 4 sheet maps of the continents incorporate Nicolosi's meticulous work and novel presentation style, with south at the top of the Africa and South America maps. Nicolosi's Dell' Hercole e studio geografico is one of the most important Italian Atlases of the 17th Century.
