P.I.C.A. (http://www.progettopica.org) is an integrated project based on a broader strategy for the use and appreciation of the transalpine area. Its aim is to preserve and put to best advantage the cultural heritage through informatics and web applications. The territories involved are the Italian areas of the Province of Cuneo (Marchesato of Saluzzo) and the French Departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Isère and Hautes-Alpes. These areas not only have in common a homogenous geographic environment, but also a shared cultural substrate, where the Alpine territory always represented a link between different traditions. In a multidisciplinary context this great, the use of open source solutions was the best way to reach project goals and put together this complex scenario using different technological solutions.
