Found ancient Roman villa by using the Google Earth-internet tool on his PC

2005-09-22
Computer programmer Luca Mori discovered the remains of an ancient Roman villa when he browsed Google Earth maps showing satellite images of his local area. In the beginning he thought it was just a spot on the map, but when he studied it more thoroughly he suspected it could be something else.

Reported by BBC on its website, Luca become real curios after discovering an unusual shading by his home in Sorbolo, Parma. Then he contacted local archaeologists who investigated and confirmed it was once the location of a Roman villa. Google proved also its service for very detailed search on maps, not only on words.
