Vincenzo Visceglia (January 30, 1903 - October 5, 1971) was an Italian cartographer and publisher. Born in Salandra, Visceglia began his university studies in engineering at the University of Naples, before moving to Rome and earning degrees in physics and mathematics from the University of Rome in 1928. He taught at a high school for a while before changing directions toward and founding the Visceglia Geographical Institute in 1929. The institute's first publication, The Toponymy Guide to Rome appeared in 1930. Visceglia continued to publish maps throughout the 1930s and 1940s (many supporting the fascist regime) and survived the war years. In the 1960s the Institute began publishing the Urban Atlas of Italy. Visceglia died at home in Rome after a long illness. The Visceglia Geographical Institute still publishes maps to this day.
