3948 italian maps

I like to do a bit of walking in the countryside and am trying to find some maps of my locality of Le Marche ( ascoli piceno and macerata areas ) that are sufficiently good to show all the smaller roads, strada bianca , etc and footpaths if possible e.g the equivalent to the Ordnance survey 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 maps in the UK. Does anyone know if such maps exist ? If so where I can buy them , either locally, by mail or online . I have managed to get some good maps of certain areas like the Sibillini National Park, but would like to get some more local ones.

Hi Angie and Robert - I have searched stanfords etc for something similar but not found it for our bit of le Marche - if you succeed please let me know..Best I have got is the 1-200 map of central Italy which does not show the white roads..

Try looking up L'ISTITUTO GEOGRAFICO MILITARE. I have a complete set of 1:25,000 for my area of north of Perugia in the 'Serie M, Edizione 3, I G M I della Carta d'Italia.'

The downside is that this was produced in 1941! Nevertheless, they are very interesting and have masses of info on them. There may be later editions for your area.

I got mine from the Provincia.

Good luck!
