As part of the #cittasenzamemoria project, the verification of toponyms dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele III in Sardinia was updated.

The data comes from the map of OpenStreetMap aimed at creating a free content cartography of the world. The map information is freely accessible under license ODbL and updated every day. To facilitate the consultation, the toponyms are also available on the dedicated online map. A total of 39 names were identified below:

• Work method

The working method consisted in verifying the data coming from ISTAT 2011 Census. If the route is present in the ISTAT database through ancillary sources, it has been determined that the plates are actually registered to Vittorio Emanuele III and does not have its two homonymous predecessors (Vittorio Emaneuele I and II). If the check is positive, the presence of the road on OpenStreetMap has been checked. The result produced was that almost all the 39 mames checked were mostly already present and therefore verified by the local community of OpenStreetmap users. The strong presence of anthroponyms dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele III in Sardinia is due to the fact that in the constitutional referendum of 2 June 1946 with 60,9 % in Cagliari, the opponents won the elections to introduction of the Republic.

• Final considerations

The work carried out on Sardinia shows that the map of OpenStreetMap can be considered a valid database reliable and certified by the same community of voluntary mappers that with their painstaking work, verify, check and update the data on the maps.
