Atlante generale dell Ab. Bartolomeo Borghi nella Stamperia Granducale Firenze 1819.

One of the most important aspects of the atlas is that it incorporated the new geo-political contours of Europe decided upon at the Congress of Vienna held at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Accordingly, the 12 maps of Italy and its various parts likewise reflect the new political order. Held between November, 1814 and June, 1815 and chaired by the Austrian statesman, C. W. von Metternich, the Congress sought to re-draw the map of Europe after the defeat of Napoleonic France in the previous year.
The resulting political changes for Italy were many, among them being the re-establishment of traditional monarchies in the kingdoms of Sardinia, Sicily and Naples, the rule of the Hapsburg princes being re-established in the duchies of Tuscany and Modena, the restoration and extension of papal authority in the Papal States, and a number of other changes.
Inter leaved with 36 text pages explaining the geo-political changes made in Italy and elsewhere.
The maps are engraved by Ago. Costa, Studio Giarre, and Gius. Poggiali.

The atlas also gives close attention to the mapping of North America and is quite up-to-date in this regard. In addition to a single-sheet map of North America, there is also a much more detailed four-sheet depiction of North America. One of the sheets has surprisingly good detail for the West, incorporating quite fully Lewis and Clark information. Another of the sheets has a well-detailed inset of the Northwest.
Vermiglioli, in his biographical dictionary of Perugian writers, described Bartolomeo Borghi (1750-1821) as "one of the greatest geographers of Europe."
Early in his career, he was involved in the production of several cartographic works, both his own and those of others, that were primarily of local Italian interest. The present atlas, however, is considered "his most important work."
