Greetings.

I'm sure whoever managed to come up with the first
reasonably
accurate map of the Italian peninsula and Sicily must have
observed,
at least mentally, that it resembled a high-heeled boot
kicking a
stone or a ball. But what's the earliest surviving written
record of
this observation?

When was the high-heeled boot invented?

Good question. Could it be that the boot was invented by someone
inspired by the shape of Italy?
