Background information: The Borbon Land Registry in Sicily (1845). Study of the section “Riposto”
Spina’s project aims to digitise the “Riposto” section of the Cessed Bourbon Land Registry of 1845. The first step of the project is the digital acquisition and indexing of the section’s Sommarione, which will allow, on the one hand, to describe – indicatively – the urban dimension of the Ripostese territory and, on the other hand, through the application of IT tools (machine learning, data mining, etc.), to open up to the prospect of returning the data of the entire island cadastre.
