The paper gives an overview of the various databases currently used in the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici of Etruria Meridionale, which are non-interoperable due to the adoption of different technical solutions and data-models. The idea is to bring together the existing databases and make them interoperable and accessible to a wide audience, creating a sort of Sistema Lazio, a unique platform for the storage, management and sharing of the Southern Etruria cultural heritage. The main goals are the systematization of the archive documents, their digitization and, ultimately, their sharing with the stakeholders: public bodies, researchers and professionals, in order to make data available for study, research, preventive archaeology, but also edutainment and tourism. In order to reach this objective, a collaboration with the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR), which is developing SITAR, was started. SITAR is designed to store the archaeological record of Rome and thanks to its modular and easy to extend data-model, can be easily reused for a different and wider territorial context like Southern Etruria.
