Hi Sandro, How are you thinking of implementing this? In the map canvas only? Ideally, I think this should be supported in the map renderer - QgsMapRendererJob. Currently the composer supports rotated maps, but it's a bit of a hack. It's really just rendering the map and then rotating the result. As a result all labels, symbology, etc also get rotated, which isn't ideal. If support for rotating maps was added to the actual map renderer then the composer would also benefit, as we'd be able to properly rotate the map without messing up labels and symbology.
