Cultural Heritage management in GIS: cataloguing of ancient marbles in Benevento (Southern Italy)

The analysis and technical elaboration named GIS (Geographical Information System) has been developed for the management information related to make parameters. The first aim of an informative system is to make it suitable to the operators which take every useful information. However, this tool requires, for its application, practice and knowledge about narrow fields, because it has to monitor spatial - physical situations in according with different "angle-shots": so we shouldn't leave historical research and archaeological surveys, chemical-physical both for knowing the degradation state, and also historic-artistic and architectural research. In order to schedule systematically ancient marbles in Benevento (Southern Italy), particularly in roman monuments and medieval churches, a GIS has been organized. The common features of stones can be immediately visualized: this indicative schedule have been drawn up to be linked to man-made stones. Besides peculiar typical, structural and architectural features, these schedules give us fundamental data and technical results to think of first and then to project a methodical and efficient recovering and consolidation plane for ancient marbles.
