The Geodesic Base of Piombino: The Measurement of Italy under an Historical Point of View

Enrico Petritoli, Fabio Leccese
  • Abstract:
    The cartographic unification of the Italian peninsula with the Carta Topografica d’Italia used the important work done during the pre-unification period and the last years of the XIX century. After the territorial unity of 1870 (leaving aside the appendix of the unredeemed lands of the north-east annexed after the Great War), the vision of a wider space for movement and citizenship took shape. For this reason, it is important to guard the memory and safeguard of all trigonometric points, like geodetic base lines, witnessing in the country the long and hard measurement work.
