Uno studio per la catalogazione territoriale e architettonica del centro storico di Roma

The article explains the theoretical aspects of a cataloguing plan financed in the context of the so-called "Giacimenti Culturali" (Lana 41/86, Art. 15). This work concerns some areas of the city of Rome, in particular, monumental and topographical survey, territorial and architectonical cataloguing techniques, that are discussed here with the aid of computer science. The subsequent development of this plan will have as a fundamental issue the drawing of a prototypal magnetic Forma Urbis, suitable for the safeguarding of the cultural heritage or for scientific purposes.
