Storia, memoria e geografia - un GIS storico sulle operazioni dell Esercito Italiano nella Campagna di Russia

Through the analysis of documents and cartography, a dynamic reconstruction of historical events occurred during the participation of the Italian Army to the Nazi's invasion of Russia was performed. The goal was reached using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that allow to integrate geographic and historical data providing a new way for the visualization and querying of locations and shapes related to data. Through GIS, it is possible to "stratify" data collected in information levels and recreate and "re-read" historical events. After the development of the GIS, an online GIS was developed as an interface for consulting information via web.
