Giacomo Boni e il Foro Romano: la prima applicazione della fotografia aerea archeologica in Italia moreco-authored vith L. Castrianni, published in G. CERAUDO (a cura di), 100 anni di Archeologia aerea in Italia. Atti del Convegno Internazionale, Roma 15 - 17 aprile 2009 (= Archeologia Aerea, 4-5, 2010-2011), pp. 23-32
The collaboration between Giacomo Boni and Maurizio Mario Moris, the Captain of Genio Militare Italiano led, in 1899, to the first European application of aerial photography to archaeological research, with the photogrammetric relief of the Roman Forum.
The cross-analysis of the unpublished data kept in Roman archives and the newspapers edited at the turn of the XIX and XX century threw light on a crucial chapter of Roman Forum and Palatine topography. The research carried to the identification of a corpus consisting of 123 pictures from 74 shots, that we can attribute to six major rises, occurred between 1899 and 1909. This first civil application of a science originally born in the military field generated a connection between military and archaeological science for the knowledge and protection of archaeological heritage, reaching a level of excellence internationally recognized and applicated. |
