MapFly is a web app for consulting the cartographic heritage of the University of Padua. It allows you to search and locate, on a geographic basis, 30,000 geothematic and historical maps preserved in the Libraries of Geography, Geosciences and Engineering. The available public domain maps, especially the historical ones, have been georeferenced, therefore you can view them on the web and possibly also download them.
Maps representing the surface of the Earth, created between the early sixteenth century and the modern era in different social contexts and using various cartographic techniques: these items are part of the collection of historical maps and atlases donated to the Museum of Geography by the collector Armando Morbiato.
Nothing evokes the concept of mobility like geographical maps. The exhibition however proposes a shift in point of view: the maps contained in the pages of the atlases donated by Armando Morbiato are stripped of their traditional role of travel aid, to become moving objects themselves. What journeys have these maps made and what itineraries do they reveal?
The Marco Fanno collection is made up of around 1500 volumes from his personal library and an archive collection of his handwritten notes, which cover forty-five years of his research activity.

From the Borgiano World Map (around 1430) to the first modern atlas created by Ortelius (1570); from the Atlas of Universal Geography by Naymiller & Allodi (1864) to the maps of the voyages made in Equatorial Africa in the second half of the 19th century: a fascinating journey into the evolution of this editorial product.
A selection of historical maps depicting Padua and its territory, the hydrography of Veneto, Venice and the Adriatic. Of particular note are the “Gran carta del Padovano” by G. A. Rizzi Zannoni (1780) and the over 70 maps of the Venetian Lagoon engraved during the 19th century.
