- Administrative/biographical history:
-
The Magistrato Camerale Antico (1750-1786) was established in 1750, taking over the responsibilities of the previous Magistrato Ducale. This Magistrature was permanently abolished in 1786.
The "Mappe e disegni" is a miscellaneous collection included in the fonds Magistrato Camerale Antico. The collection of 51 papers, including maps and drawings, was found in 1993 during a survey conducted on the whole archive Magistrato Camerale Antico. The maps and drawings deal in particular with roads and water in Mantua from 1571 to the 19th century. The skilled workers of the Magistratura Camerale e Ducale are supposed to be the authors of these maps and drawings. Apparently the items were gathered in a single collection because of their format during reorganisation conducted in the first half of the 19th century, according to the archival rules of that time. Because of this intervention, the original arrangements have been lost.
