Antonio Millo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Millo, active during 1557-1590, was captain and chartographer with significant work in map making[1].
He was born during the 16th century in Milos and he lived part of his life in Venice as shown from records of the Greek community of Venice. Apart from chartographer he must have been a captain and πλοηγός. He created many maps with great detail.
Several of his works have been saved in Venice (in Biblioteca Marciana di Venezia and Museo Correr), in Rome (Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma), at Berlin (Staatsbibliothek) and in London (British Library).
In a map he signs as «Antonio Millo F.».
