Abstract. The ‘Carolino’ Aqueduct, a territorial infrastructure, principally known to lead water to the park and the gardens of the Royal Palace of Caserta (Italy) is the main topic of tis paper. Specifically, presented here are some outcomes of research activities carried within the discipline of drawing with its different meanings (survey, representation, modeling, communication) and scalarities (architecture and territory). The activities have been fully systematized within a Geographical Information System (GIS) project with the aim not only to archive all the acquired and surveyed information but also to make it a communication tool - accessible through the web - to an expanded user that can enjoy this infrastructure, inscribed for its peculiarities in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
This paper analyzes the Ager Nolanus Table by Ambrogio Leone and Gerolamo Mocetto attached to De Nola Treatise (1514). The analyses involved several iconographic aspects, including typographical ones, those relating to the technical construction of the drawing, the representation methods used, and the cartographic representation techniques until the comparison with the current geography of the places through contemporary cartography. This research uses digital graphic analysis for each of the identified aspects. The result of the comparative analysis of the Table, also in comparison with the other three Tables attached to the Treatise, highlighted its prototype character in the context of modern cartography.
