Description: The Pizzigano map, also known as the Pizzigano chart is an Italian portolan chart dated 1424. It contains islands in the North Atlantic Ocean in the west of Spain and Portugal including Portuguese discoveries and legendary islands such as Antillia. The cartographer may have been the Venetian Zuane Pizigano, possibly a descendant of a 14th century family of mapmakes one of whom authored another well known map also called the Pizziagano map in Parma in 1367
