One of the most fascinating applications of geographic information systems (GIS) is when it’s used within a deeply historic landscape. Knowing that advanced GIS software lies behind the preservation and protection of a rich cultural environment is, for a GIS professional, incredibly fulfilling. This innovative location technology solution is responsible for preserving the heritage of some of the world’s most significant sites, and the town of Brindisi is no exception. This perfect alignment of old with new, past with present and physical with digital is GIS at its best.
