ZALTIERI, Bolognini

fl. 1560's

Bolognini Zaltieri (fl. 1560's) was one of three men who dominated the map-publishing trade in Venice. He had a prolific output, much of which emanated, either in compilation, or in engraving, with Forlani, with the focus on regions outside Italy. 

His most famous publication is a map of North America, published in 1566, which was the first separate printed map of the region.  Other maps published by him are a detailed plan of Venice, with an extensive key below, a map of Ireland, of the Holy Land, and two plans of Tunis.

He also issued a series of maps of the individual provinces of the Low Countries, copied from Tramezini.
