Is there a good resource for old city maps of Italy?

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to get my hands on an old map of Sicily, and more specifically one of Modica. Does anyone know of a good resource for such a thing?

My ggf was born on a street called San Francesco d'Assisi, which doesn't show up on current Google maps. I was able to find the place where my great grandmother was born using the Google street view--pretty cool!

I can't imagine that the streets have changed much over the years, but this street seems to have disappeared!

Where I live they rename the streets every 10 years it seems. Sometimes the town archives have old copies of street maps but not always.

When I search for that street name, it just takes me to the center of the town. Did I miss something?

Try this

maps.google.com/maps?f...10&iwloc=A

Put the street name in and you can see if it still exists or if filmed, see the actual street.

When I search on Google maps, it appears that there is no such street in Modica, which is why I thought an old map might be helpful.
