Administrative action must base decisions on certified georeferenced cognitive elements because errors and inaccuracies can affect public decision-making. With this in mind, the Tuscany Region's overall strategy is one that includes, in addition to the implementation of remote sensing data, improving the quality of spatial data produced as part of the administrative functions under its jurisdiction. To do this, the Region renews the role of its Cartographic Office, recognizing its variable geometry but placing it at the center of the complex coordination system for the certified acquisition of georeferenced information.

General P. Malagoli was a founding father of modern defence aerial mapping in Italy. He also had a very distinctive personality and was a generous, bon vivant friend for many. In 2013 he made a gift to Aerofototeca Nazionale of his extraordinary professional/ scientific library: a great asset, for which AFN is truly grateful.

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 UÅŸaklı 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.

The Global Map continues the long Florentine cartographic tradition, which is characterized by the ability, the tendency to perfection and the artistic vision but, above all, the passion. Like the one of its general manager Andrea Bonomo, for which the maps are the main instrument of knowledge.

The new geographical toponymy of Rome, performed by STUDIO SIT srl, totally comes from a field survey started in late 2017. Single house numbers compete with each other as for their accuracy and updating. Points are close to 500.000, reaching the total of those for Milan, Turin, Naples and Genoa. Sometimes the enormous surface of the municipality of Rome has represented a trouble for collectors, also with damaged roads, environmental findings and later built. But now, completeness and accuracy of this data put it strongly to the attention of most influential location intelligence players.

The term mapp'ry is analyzed through famous works of the English Renaissance. The author's intention is to explain the meaning of the ancient word, that disappeared from contemporary texts but useful to clarify the intrinsic value of cartography even today. The word becomes a metaphor for a mental strategy or a real object in the hands of political power. The literature of the past has helped to spread the knowledge of cartography using texts and plays written by great authors. The writers bring attention to the importance of maps during the golden age of geographical and scientific discoveries.

Le attività del Dipartimento del territorio nel settore della cartografia catastale

The article is a reflection on the actual value of information technology applied to cartography. In particular the author wonders how thousands of data can be really useful in as many databases which are difficult to understand to the same technicians who should have use them.

Cartography during emergencies takes an incredibly strategic value of fundamental importance for saving lives. But after is then forgotten without implement what is classically defined benefit in peacetime to be ready in time of war. The reflections in this paper are derived from some of the experiences accumulated in the field in urgent technical rescue in emergency events that have allowed us to highlight the important role that geomatics plays in such situations.

The survey with an UAV in the city centre for a research project of the University of L'Aquila has been started the use of UAV technology in some areas damaged by the earthquake of 2009. A synergistic survey to highlight the criticality and monitor the state of the buildings in order to prevent the emergencies and innovate the remote sensing methodologies. The testimony of the project coordinator, Prof. Donatella Dominici, describing the results of the survey carried out with the multicopter.

Logical model and implementation of a Geographic Information System for forest management. In this paper we present the realization of information tools aimed at a forest management to incr ease the protective functions of forests and soil conserv ation through GIS software. The Geographic Information System will aim to contain the maps as basis for the serv ices of monitoring, analysis and support to any form of interv ention. The article will refer to Arc GIS nomenclature for his technical and didactics importance but the same could be done with any other open sourc e software.

When it was born the aerial photogrammetric technique for cartographic purposes, at the beginning of the twenties of the twentieth century, in European countries where the new discipline had spread (Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Great Britain) were built businesses of survey and cartographic representation, next to the state agencies obviously interested in new techniques (cadastre, national geographic institutes or military). We recall here the vicissitudes of our country, because they are quite different from those developed across the Alps.

Nella letteratura fotogrammetrica mondiale, due sono i nomi di italiani intesi senza ombra di dubbio come pionieri di questa disciplina: Umberto Nistri ed Ermenegildo Santoni. Forse il primo è più noto, essendo il suo nome legato all’avvento della fotogrammetria analitica: il primo restitutore di tal tipo è infatti opera della statunitense Bendix, per la parte elettronica, e della O.M.I. di Roma, fondata per l’appunto da Nistri nel lontano 1924, per la parte fotogrammetrica. Half century after the death of Umberto Nistri In the photogrammetric world literature, two are the names of Italians people understood without doubts as pioneers of this discipline: Umberto Nistri and Ermenegildo Santoni. The first maybe is best known, his name being linked to the advent of analytical photogram-metry: the first plotting instrument of this type is in fact the work of the U.S. Ben-dix, for the electronic part, and the OMI of Rome, founded by Nistri precisely in 1924, for the photogrammetric part.

In risposta alle esigenze espresse dal Centro del Patrimonio Mondiale UNESCO, di defi nizione geografica dei perimetri e delle aree di rispetto di alcuni siti che presentavano problemi in tal senso, il Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali ha intrapreso un più ampio progetto di ricognizione e sistematizzazione unitaria del materiale cartografi co relativo a tutti i siti italiani iscritti nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale. Il progetto ha previsto l’informatizzazione dei dati d’identifi cazione di base riferiti a ciascun sito secondo un modello grafi co unifi cato, con la georeferenziazione dei relativi perimetri e delle aree di rispetto su base cartografica e foto aeree. Tale lavoro ha prodotto l’Atlante cartografico dei siti italiani UNESCO, composto di 412 tavole relative ai 42 siti culturali iscritti fi no al 2009, uno strumento dinamico che, per sua stessa natura, è destinato a sviluppi ed aggiornamenti. World Heritage's right position In response to the needs expressed by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre regarding the geographic definition of the perimeters and areas of some property, the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities carried out an extensive project for the reconnaisance and systematization of the unit map data covering all the Italian properties included in the World Heritage List. The project involved the computerization of basic identifying data about each site according to a unified graph model, with georeferencing of the areas’ perimeters on maps and on aerial photographs. This work resulted in the Atlas map of Italian UNESCO properties, consisting of 412 tables for the 42 cultural properties included until 2009, a dynamic tool that, by its very nature, will continue to develop and be updated.

From image to map The international scientific and technical conference organized by Racurs took place in Gaeta, an old village on the Italian west coast. The specialists of GIS, photogrammetry, remote sensing met in the three days of presentation and workshop.

What is Global Geospatial Information Management There is general agreement of an urgent need for an inter-government consultative mechanism that can play a leadership role in setting the agenda for the development of global geospatial information and to promote its use to address key global challenges; to liaise and coordinate among Member States, and between Member States and international organizations.
