1744 MADONNA DELL'OLMO: THE FIRST EVER (DEFINITIVE) MAP OF THE BATTLE

 With a lot of efforts, comparing different maps and sources, trying not to get confused I realized a dream I had since a lot as Piedmontese: the final and definitive map of the Battle of Madonna dell'Olmo on 30th September 1744, in front of besieged town of Cuneo.

I present here my work that requestes - sincerly - a lot of efforts to accomplish.

I prepare also in bigger version so taht you can read the numbers.

here under the legenda of the numbers, Piedmontese/Austrian and French/Spanish

and here the complete map

I think for the genesis of the map and how I reached this result, I will prepare a different post.

Just to know as main sources
