Abstract
The paper illustrates the potentials of geospatial data and services to access historical digital atlas for landscape analysis and territorial government. The experience of a historical geo-portal, the ‘Atl@nte dei Catasti Storici’, in the management of geo-referenced and non-geo-referenced maps - ancient cadastral and topographic maps of Lombardy Region - can be considered a case study with common aspects to many European regions having an extensive cartographic heritage. The development of downstream web based services to integrate other data sources (current maps, satellite and UAV airborne photogrammetry, multi-spectral images and derived products) provides new scenarios for retrieving geospatial knowledge of territory, bridging the gap in supporting a sustainable management of the territory.
