The Cyprus Institute

Platform

The main output of the project is the online resource «Venetian Inscriptions in Cyprus», which serves as the first online Open Access platform dedicated to Venetian Renaissance epigraphy. This innovative tool, compliant with the principles of Open Science, allows for the visualisation of a georeferenced map of the locations of the inscriptions, along with digital cataloguing and, where possible, 3D reproduction of the monuments and sites where they are located. This spatial approach aims to enhance our understanding of the communication strategies employed by the Serenissima to assert its presence and identity on the island. In the future, this resource can be expanded to include data from other territories that were part of the Venetian Republic, as well as from Venice itself.
