The Sistema Informativo Archeologico di Roma Antica e del suo Territorio was created by the Sapienza University of Rome. The system was initially designed on a proprietary software platform. Its complexity stems from the fact that it included all the structures and the objects found in Rome within the Aurelian walls. A research team led by F.G. Cavallero assisted by G. De Rosa is dealing with the system migration to an open source software (QGIS and PostgreSQL/PostGIS). The difficulties encountered in this process and the strategies used to overcome them are the subject of this paper.
