Como in the XVIII Century

"Como in the XVIII century" is a project born within the course of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the Master of Science in IAT (Environmental and Geomatic Engineering) of Politenico di Milano (Como Campus), Academic Year 2008-2009. The aim of the project is the realization of a webGIS that can collect all the available information about the city of Como in the XVIII century. This work originates from the finding of an ancient city-map of 1722, given to University from Comune di Como and Archivio di Stato, then rectified and geo-referenced in UTM coordinates using the PCI OrthoEngine software. The project that is presented in this website starts from the results obtained last year ( http://webgis.como.polimi.it/comoXVIII/ ) but it's more concerned about the evolution of Como during the centuries. In the menu above you can find more information.
