The Italian Association of Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology (AISAM) coordinates the project entitled “DIECI E LODE – Climatic Data of the Former Italian Colonies and Their Digitization” in which participate, for the scientific part, prestigious Italian institutions and bodies, such as the Air Force with its Meteorological Service, the CNR with the Institute of BioEconomy and the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, CREA, the Politecnico di Milano, the University of Trento and the University of Milan.
The project aims to retrieve and digitize important information on meteorological networks and climate analyses of the former Italian colonies, collected in monographs written by experts who have worked in those territories. The activities were launched thanks to funding from the Ministry of Culture.
The project will be presented during a conference, open to the public and schools, to be held in presence on Friday, May 31, 2024 in Bologna, at the “Guido Fanti” Multipurpose Hall of the Emilia-Romagna Region, in viale Aldo Moro 50, and in streaming at the following link:
