Visconte Maggiolo (1478 – after 1549), also spelled Maiollo and Maiolo, was a Genoese cartographer. He was born in Genoa and maybe he was a fellow sailor of explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. In 1511 he moved to Naples, where he produced three extant nautical atlases. Some historians say that he died of malaria in 1530; but archival documents show that he was still alive, in Genoa, at least in 1549, although he certainly was already dead in 1561.

dbo:abstract
  • Vesconte Maggiolo (alte Schreibweise Vesconte de Maiolo; * 1475; † nach 1549) war ein genuesischer Kartograf. Einige Historiker behaupten, er sei 1530 an Malaria gestorben; Archivdokumente zeigen jedoch, dass er zumindest 1549 noch in Genua lebte, obwohl er 1561 sicherlich schon tot war. Seine Familie besaß über 150 Jahre lang das Monopol auf die Kartenproduktion in der Republik Genua. Er fertigte Karten des Mittelmeeres, des Schwarzen Meeres sowie Afrikas, der Neuen Welt und Asiens. Der berühmte Seeatlas des Vesconte Maggiolo besteht aus vier Karten (Pergament), welche im Jahre 1512 in Parma gefertigt wurden. Das Original befindet sich in der Biblioteca Palatina in Parma. Es gibt zahlreiche Portolankarten, Atlanten und mindestens zwei weitere Weltkarten von Vesconte Maggiolo: eine aus Genua, 1531; Eine andere, die in einer öffentlichen Bibliothek in Treviso aufbewahrt wird (in italienischer Sprache), ist datiert auf Genua, 1549. Obwohl er sich auf die Kartierung des Mittelmeers, des Schwarzen Meeres und der Ägäis spezialisiert hatte, war Maggiolo der erste, der in seinem Atlas von 1548 den südamerikanischen Fluss Rio de Amaxones als Toponym angab.

Some historians say that he died of malaria in 1530; but archival documents show that he was still alive, in Genoa, at least in 1549, although he certainly was already dead in 1561. In 1527, he created a map depicting Verrazzano's travels. This map had a major error (so-called "Verrazzano Sea" with his "Verrazzano Isthmus", as Giovanni did not accurately describe the North American continent. This error kept on showing up in maps for over a century. A copy of this 1527 map was destroyed during World War II. There are numerous portolan charts, atlases and at least two other world maps made by Vesconte Maggiolo: one dated Genoa, 1531; another kept at a public library in Treviso (in Italian), is dated Genoa, 1549. Although he specialized in the mapping of the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, Maggiolo was the first to report in his atlas of 1548 the toponym of the South American river Rio de Amaxones.
