IT Dieci e Lode Climatic Data of the Former Italian Colonies and Their Digitization Kick-off Workshop Event video is now available Save the Date Friday, May 31 2024, Bologna, Sala Polivalente “Guido Fanti”, Regione Emilia-Romagna (viale Aldo Moro, 50) Our Sponsors Friday May 31 2024, the kick-off Workshop of the Project “DIECI E LODE – Dati climaticI delle Ex Colonie Italiane E LOro DigitalizzazionE” will be held in Bologna at the sala polivalente “Guido Fanti”, Emilia-Romagna Region (viale Aldo Moro, 50). The meeting is co-organzed by AISAM and the Agenzia ItaliaMeteo. Speakers will include researchers, university professors and the embassies of the countries involved. The project, which started a few months ago, takes advantage of the collaboration of Italian research bodies such as CREA, Università di Trento, Politecnico di Milano, Università degli Studi di Milano and CNR-ISAC of Bologna. The activities were started thanks to initial funding from the Ministry of Culture. The project in brief Italy had a very important role in the birth and development of modern meteorology and, thanks to this peculiar role, it has many ancient and fundamental meteorological data. The recovery of this enormous observational heritage has been underway for some time and, in recent decades, a significant part of this data has been digitized. Despite the many activities undertaken, many documents still need to be recovered and digitized to prevent their deterioration over time. Among these documents are records pertaining to the regions of central and northern Africa that were formerly Italian colonies. Objectives The objective of this project is therefore the recovery of meteorological observations relating to the former Italian colonies (in particular Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Libya) and all the other territories that were under Italian control and which still hold invaluable data. Therefore, the impressive digitization efforts that AISAM intends to undertake allows not only to preserve an invaluable heritage, but also able the consultation, the exploration and study a significant amount of historical information from territories that are still under-monitored by networks. In particular, the data measured by Italy in its former colonies can provide a contribution of considerable interest to international climatological research. Furthermore, the same data are of great importance for the meteorological offices that monitor these territories today, as it allows they allows current meteorological observations to be placed into a broader context, fundamental for the study of climate change.

EN Convegno di presentazione del Progetto Dieci e Lode Dati climatici delle Ex-Colonie Italiane E Loro Digitalizzazione Vai alla registrazione dell’evento Save the Date Venerdì 31 maggio 2024 a Bologna presso la Sala Polivalente “Guido Fanti”, Regione Emilia-Romagna (viale Aldo Moro, 50) I Nostri Sponsor Venerdì 31 maggio 2024 a Bologna presso la Sala Polivalente “Guido Fanti”, Regione Emilia-Romagna (viale Aldo Moro, 50) si terrà il convegno di presentazione del Progetto “DIECI E LODE – Dati climaticI delle Ex Colonie Italiane E LOro DigitalizzazionE” organizzato da AISAM insieme all’Agenzia ItaliaMeteo. A intervenire saranno ricercatori, docenti universitari e le ambasciate dei paesi coinvolti. Il progetto, avviato da qualche mese, si avvale della collaborazione di Enti di Ricerca italiani quali il CREA, l’Università di Trento, il Politecnico di Milano, l’Università degli Studi di Milano e il CNR-ISAC di Bologna. Le attività sono state avviate grazie a un primo finanziamento da parte del Ministero della Cultura. Il progetto in breve L’Italia ha avuto un ruolo di grande rilievo nella nascita e nello sviluppo della meteorologia moderna e, grazie a questo suo ruolo peculiare, dispone di molti e antichi dati meteorologici fondamentali.Il recupero di questo enorme patrimonio osservativo è in corso da tempo e, negli ultimi decenni, si è proceduto a digitalizzare una parte significativa di questi dati. Nonostante le molte attività sviluppate, ancora svariati documenti devono essere recuperati e digitalizzati per scongiurarne il deterioramento con il passare del tempo. Tra questi, vi sono anche quelli relativi alle aree dell’Africa centro settentrionale che sono state in passato colonie italiane.   Gli obiettivi L’obiettivo del presente progetto è quindi il recupero delle osservazioni meteorologiche relative alle ex colonie italiane (in particolare Eritrea, Somalia, Etiopia, Libia) e a tutti gli altri territori che furono sotto il controllo italiano e che dispongono ancora di preziosissimi dati. Pertanto, l’imponente opera di digitalizzazione che AISAM si propone di sviluppare consente non solo di salvare un patrimonio di inestimabile valore, ma anche di poter usufruire, consultare, sfogliare e studiare una serie importante di informazioni del passato in territori che ancora oggi sono poco coperti da reti di monitoraggio da qualsiasi postazione nel mondo.  In particolare, i dati misurati dall’Italia nelle sue ex colonie possono dare un contributo di notevole interesse per la ricerca climatologica internazionale. Gli stessi dati risultano, peraltro, di grande importanza per gli uffici meteorologici che monitorano oggi questi territori: essi permettono di inserire le osservazioni meteorologiche attuali in un contesto più ampio, fondamentale per lo studio dei cambiamenti climatici”.

Background Italy has played a very significant role in the birth and development of modern meteorology, considering that many meteorological instruments, including Galileo’s thermometer and Torricelli’s barometer, were invented in Italy. Moreover, what can be defined as the first international observational network, linked to the Accademia del Cimento, was founded in our country. Thanks to this unique role, Italy possesses a heritage of ancient meteorological data of exceptional value (Camuffo and Bertolin, 2012). The recovery of this enormous observational heritage has been ongoing for a long time (Cottone, 1939; Bossolasco, 1945), and in recent decades, a significant portion of these data has been digitized. However, despite many developed activities, a substantial fraction of them remains available only on paper, which unfortunately is deteriorating over time, risking the loss of data and information of inestimable value for scientific research in the field of meteorology and climate change. Among the data that still need to be recovered are those from areas of central-northern Africa that were formerly Italian colonies. The objective of this project is to recover meteorological observations from these former Italian colonies (particularly Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Libya) and all other territories that were under Italian control which still own valuable data to be recovered. The project will allow, thanks to free access to these new precious data, to fill some gaps in the climate reconstruction of the last century, enabling a significant leap in the reconstruction accuracy of atmospheric patterns for an area that has proven to be crucial in recent climate change. Area of study Among the many data still to be recovered, there is a very significant fraction of those collected in territories belonging to Italy (Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Libya, Dodecanese, Albania, Dalmatia, Istria) starting from the 19th century (already since the end of the 1800s, in fact, the Central Meteorological Office published data and news regarding Eritrea, Somalia, Tripolitania, and Cyrenaica). In this context, the present project aims to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the meteorological data and information available for these areas (Figure 1) during the period when they were under the control of our country. Figure 1: Nations, including territories that were under Italian control between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Objectives The heritage of meteorological observations from the territories that were under Italian control between the late 19th century and the early 20th century is mainly found today in the National Meteorological Archive of the CREA (Council for Research in Agricultural and the analysis of Agricultural Economy), while many volumes containing important information on these data and tables resulting from their elaboration are located in the Library of the Collegio Romano. It is easy to understand how this material is not easily and immediately accessible, both for scholars and for any other potential user. Additionally, these volumes are subject to deterioration and wear over time, making them only accessible to expert personnel. Therefore, the imposing task of digitization that AISAM aims to develop in this context allows to preserve a heritage of inestimable value and, secondly, to be able to use, consult, browse, and study a significant series of past information in territories that are still poorly covered by monitoring networks from any location in the world. Anyone will thus be able to access conveniently consultable online data to conduct analyses and studies to better understand the climate of the past and its ongoing changes. In particular, the data measured by Italy in its former colonies can therefore make a significant contribution to international climatological research. The same data are also of great importance for meteorological offices currently monitoring these territories to place meteorological observations in a longer-term context and, therefore, of
