FraRe: a net between the two sides of the Adriatic sea

The paper describes the web-site FraRe (http://studiumanistici.unimc.it/it/ricerca/progetti-di-ricerca-finanziati/frare/mappe-schede/mappa-frare) and its possibilities of expansion eastwards, to the the regions connected to the eastern shore of the Adriatic sea, since Franciscan settlements are very numerous in the whole Adriatica region. As far as the Marches are concerned, the web-site is already accessible on web; the user can localize the single Franciscan settlements on a Google map and can make queries concerning the chronology and the various grouping of conventsaccording to different categories (male/female, Observant/Conventual, and so forth). By connecting to the site FraRe from different kinds of devices, it’s possible to both visualize and create historical, religious and artistic virtual tours between convents and towns, and finally to organize a real journey. The data on the map could be uploaded in Google Earth and in Google Gallery and so the possibility to find the map and extract the information would be greater even for occasional users and tourists looking for more detailed notes about a geographical area, a convent, or a town.Since the settlements of the Friars Minor and of the Poor Clares cover many regions, on both sides of the Adriatic Sea, and had relationships between them, mapping the sites will allow to enlighten relationshipsbetween different areas, in Italy and in the Balkan territories,until the whole XVI-XVII century.
