This paper examines the use of digital photogrammetry and terrain data management within GIS applied to Archaeology, i.e. the study and reconstruction of the settlement layout of Uşaklı Höyük (Central Anatolia, Turkey) during the Hittite period, through 3D surveys and geo-spatial analyses. Thanks to the data acquisition and processing using algorithms software, i.e. Structure for Motion and Multi-view stereo, it was possible to create highresolution photogrammetric products and cartographic maps valuable for interpreting and further examining archaeological evidence collected during excavations. These products include: i) Digital Elevation Models (DEM), ii) 3D textured models, iii) aerial photogrammetric survey of the Hittite temple (Building II) at a scale of 1:200 and, iv) the orthophoto map of the höyük at a scale of 1:500.

In recent years, the use of Gegraphic Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) by the Italian public administration is more diffused (CAD, 2013) even if the suspicion that proprietary software is more able to completely solve the problem of the management of a complex geoportal of a big municipality is still present. In this paper we present two examples of publication of geodata using GFOSS for two different town of Veneto Region (Italy): the SitVi 2.0, that is the webGIS of the Vicenza Municipality (~ 110'000 inhabitants) and the webGIS of the Legnago town (~ 25'000 inhabitants).

This paper shortly describes the project started by the Digital Cultural Heritage (DiCultHer) Sicilian Centre in the 2018-2019 school year, to participate in the Week of Digital Cultures in Matera (Italy). The objective of the project, ambitious and still open to contributions, is to produce a digital storytelling of the catastrophic event that marked the fate of a large area of eastern Sicily: the 1693 earthquake. The event caused destruction and death, but it also mobilized an extraordinary solidarity of the population and a demanding reconstruction that led to the baroque architecture that has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This paper describes a methodology for implementing a GIS for the protection of artifacts, which also have historical-artistic significance, located along the route of Via Annia, better known as the ancient Roman road of Via Popilia. The aim of the work-group's research is to contribute to the development of a methodological process, with a view to the conservation and enhancement of Cultural Heritage. On a territorial scale, layer implementation will include information on geotechnical, hydro-geological, structural, urban and historical-artistic features. At the level of the single artifact, data entry is obtained through field work information gathering concerning historical and artistic relevance, location and structural aspects, and, furthermore, to develop a monitoring card, with an indication of the state of the art and critical points to be kept under control. Investigations are also to be carried out periodically with a view to necessary interventions for purposes of safety and structural recovery. Maintenance data will also be useful for future restoration and conservation projects. The pilot project concerns the case study of Ponte Sant'Angelo, known as the "Hannibal Bridge" (a Roman bridge from the 2nd century B.C.) and located between the municipalities of Altilia and Scigliano, in the province of Cosenza. The GIS can be used as an aid for the realization of tourism/related activities (guides, itineraries, on-site training, educational workshops, sites of special scientific interest, etc.).

At the meeting organized in Novara (Italy) by the Nuova Regaldi, on September 22nd 2022, entitled "The Emmanuel Anati's exodus proposal according to the publication of the Ennateuch in the holy language of Jerusalem Sanctuary", during my presentation I mentioned the book "Diary of a Pilgrimage", by the IV century AD Spanish pilgrim Egeria. In this book, among other, she describes, with wealth of details, her climb to the top of Mount Sinai. In the subsequent discussion session, two hypotheses raised about the location of Mount Sinai climbed by Egeria: Gebel Musa, in the South of the Sinai Peninsula and Har Karkom, in the Negev desert, proposed some decades ago by Emmanuel Anati, as an alternative location hypothesis of Mount Sinai. In the following, considering the description offered by Egeria about the landscape visibility from the top of mount Sinai, an objective comparison on the two hypotheses (Gebel Musa and Har Karkom) will be carried out, so to define in a scientific way, the most probable location of the Mount Sinai described by the Spanish pilgrim.
