Title

Stone Pages • Web guide to Megalithic Europe

Description

We both enjoy computers and megalithic sites. During our journeys to Ireland (1989), Scotland (1990 and 1998), Sardinia (1991 and 2001), Southern England (1992), France (1996), Wales (1997), Apulia and Corsica (2000) we took several thousands of pictures and collected a lot of information about local stone circles, dolmens and standing stones. After joining the Internet community - in 1995 - we decided to share the knowledge gained by our experience in those countries. Thus, in February 1996 we started the Stone Pages: the very first online guide about European megalithic sites and other ancient monuments.

Since then, this website has grown to over 2,000 pages and we set the standards for many other websites devoted to the same subject. For instance, we broke the ground with the first CD-ROM devoted to megalithic monuments (for SCRAN in 1998); we coined the term ambience to describe an ancient site by its location on an environment presumably close to the original (in 1996); we pioneered the use of QTVR 360-degree panoramic movies to show prehistoric sites (since 1997); and our open forum has been the first of its kind for all users interested in European megalithic monuments (since 2000).

We live with Alice (our daughter born in 2002) in Trevignano Romano, a peaceful village on the lake of Bracciano, about half an hour drive north of Rome (Italy). Our hopes and resources are now directed to a new project: Cartabianca, a publishing company specialized in history, archaeology, travel and technical guides. But we don't forget we are "megalithomaniacs", so in the future we'd like to build new Stone Pages sections about Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Malta and Valcamonica (Italy).
