Hi guys,

I'm Claudio Bicocchi from Italy, working with ArcGIS Pro find a way to tell history through geodatabases related to historical documents with special focus on the second world war events.

We’re glad to officially welcome you, @ClaudioBicocchi—the project that you're working on sounds fascinating! Will the data you produce be public and something you can share some of here in Esri Community where others can see it?

It looks like you’ve been exploring the Esri Community for a little while now, including getting involved in MyEsri and ArcGIS Online conversations—that’s great. It sounds like you'll want to bookmark the ArcGIS Pro Place as well. By now, you've likely already gathered that Esri Community is a global community where you can find solutions, share ideas, and collaborate to solve problems with GIS.

Don't miss these helpful resources:

And always feel encouraged to reach out if you have any questions about using this platform!

Bonjourno Claudio,
I am writing to you about a project I helped on quite a few years ago, which was done by an Italian Professor at the University of Florence. He visited a university where I supported him on using GIS to map a large survey of the western US cemeteries where Italians were buried. His method was based on finding cemeteries where Cypress trees and often hand cut rock buildings were located.
I will locate the book with his name, that you might find informative.
Also you may want to check out the ESRI Map Galleries and search on this topic.

Hi Lisa, that's an interesting topic. Anyway, I think that talking about history and showing data on a map should exploit the potential of time tools offered by ESRI to better shows the changes which occurred over the time related to any topic.

That's what I'm going to do

P.S. sorry for any possible language errors
