Abstract

The Umbrian territory crossed by one track of the ancient Roman Flaminia Way, presents settlements, monuments and art works connected with the old road network. During the centuries, the road track called Martana, which was marked in 223 a.C. by the Consul Flaminio, has coagulate an amount of settlements, like the town of Carsulae (Terni e Acquasparta), Sangemini, the settlement near S. Maria in Pantano (Massamartana), and monuments, like the Massamartana catacombs, rural churches, monasteries and castles. The conservation and the accessibility of all the sites lay down problems not only concerning merely the management of the survey, study and conservation campaign, but also, if the aim is to create a museum network, those related on one side with the improvement of a correct use of the sites, on the other with the realization of an executive program of digital documentation in order to guarantee the dissemination of the data in a Virtual Museum of the heritage itself.
