Abstract

This dataset is part of the master's thesis project "Florentia Illustrata", developed in collaboration with I Tatti - The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence. The project was conducted during an internship for thesis purposes within the Master's Degree in Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge at the University of Bologna, with a focus on Knowledge Management. The "Florentia Illustrata Knowledge Graph" is a structured and semantically enriched digital representation of Florence in the first half of the 19th century. It was developed from the historical study by Belli, Lucchesi, and Raggi (2022): Firenze nella prima metà dell'Ottocento: La città nei documenti del Catasto Generale Toscano (Firenze University Press, DOI: 10.36253/979-12-215-0002-8). The dataset captures historical, geographical, and social aspects of the city, mapping places, people, events, and their interconnections and relate them in a knowledge graph structured according to CIDOC CRM standards. It can support historical research, cultural heritage studies, and digital humanities applications.
