Pietro Coppo

🇸🇮

Park v katerem se nahajate je poimenovan po italijanskem geografu in kartografu Pietru Coppo, rojenem v Benetkah konec leta 1469 ali v začetku leta 1470. V Benetkah je študiral pri uglednem profesorju zemljepisa in ostalih znanosti, Marcantoniu Sabellicu. Po končanem študiju je veliko potoval po Sredozemlju in začel risati zemljevide, na koncu pa se je ustalil v Izoli, kjer se je poročil in do svoje smrti, leta 1556, opravljal notarski poklic.

Med bivanjem v Izoli je leta 1520 ustvaril svojo prvo knjigo zemljevidov, ki jo je poimenoval De toto orbe. Leta 1528 je izdal knjigo Portolano, ki je trakrat predstavljala enega prvih navigacijskih vodnikov na svetu in je bila opremljena z zemljevidi.

V svojem znamenitem atlasu je objavil tudi prvi dokaj natančen zemljevid Istre, ki ga je pri svojih šestdesetih začel risati na tedaj edini možen način. Več tednov je s čolnom plul ob obali Istre, nato pa se je za nekaj tednov odpravil še v notranjost polotoka, ki ga je prehodil po dolgem in počez. 

V tem atlasu je objavil tudi zemljevid sveta, na katerem je zarisal celo Ameriko, ki je bila v tistem času povsem nova celina in je imela status vojaške skrivnosti. Do podatkov o tej celini in grobi obliki njene obale je prišel preko dopisovanja s portugalskimi geografi.

🇬🇧

The park you are in is named after the Italian geographer and cartographer Pietro Coppo, born in Venice in late 1469 or early 1470. He studied in Venice under the eminent professor of geography and other sciences, Marcantonio Sabellico. After completing his studies, he travelled extensively in the Mediterranean and began to draw maps, eventually settling in Isola, where he married and practised as a notary until his death in 1556.

While in Isola, he produced his first book of maps in 1520, which he called De toto orbe. In 1528, he published Portolano, one of the first navigational guides in the world, which was accompanied by maps.

In his famous atlas, he also published the first fairly accurate map of Istria, which he began to draw in the only way possible at the time. He spent several weeks sailing along the coast of Istria in a boat, and then went inland for a few weeks, traversing the peninsula length and breadth.

In this atlas, he also published a map of the world, on which he drew the whole of America, which at that time was a completely new continent and had the status of a military secret. He obtained information about this continent and the rough shape of its coastline through correspondence with Portuguese geographers.
