Specialist Notes

Ottavio Beltrano was born in Terranova and began his modest business as a printer in Cosenza around 1620, continuing it in Naples and in various cities of the Kingdom, before concluding it in Ancona around 1660. In 1640 he was still in Naples, where he published his major work, Breve descrizione del Regno di Napoli.
