- Abstract: Thanks to its heterogeneity, the Biscari Archive, one of the most representative family's archives in Sicily, in a new digital historical study, became a valuable set of computable data that can lead historians to reconstruct the history of the city of Catania and Sicily. Ignazio Paterno' Castello and his wife Anna, princes of Biscari, were the promoters of the city's reconstruction after the 1693 earthquake, both politically and culturally. How could the digital historical methodology fulfil the traditional Historiography gap about how this noble family built its mighty? As we know, Humanities cannot easily be encapsulated in a few understandable numbers and names. However, historians, boosting Artificial Intelligence, such as Transkribus, and applying Historical Networks Analysis could help computers infer computable meaning from the digitised historical primary source. The Turing Machine became the most powerful tool to help historians understand what happened in the Past and identify the actors in cities and places' cultural and political renewal.

This paper presents BattleAgent, an emulation system that combines the Large Vision-Language Model and Multi-agent System.
It aims to simulate complex dynamic interactions among multiple agents, as well as between agents and their environments.
It emulates both the decision-making processes of leaders and the viewpoints of ordinary participants, such as soldiers.

We present a the demonstrator of our browser-based tool that allows researchers and public stakeholders to quickly identify spots that featured buildings in the 19th century Franciscean Cadastre.
The tool not only supports scholars and fellow researchers in building a better understanding of the settlement history of the region of Styria, it also helps public administration and fellow citizens to swiftly identify areas of heightened sensibility with regard to the cultural heritage of the region.

These findings shed light on the different styles of storytelling in the two literary genres and how the historical novel complicates the social networks of characters to enrich the literariness of the story.

We build upon the current theoretical discourse of anthropology associated with visuality and heritage tourism to identify travel patterns across a known archaeological heritage circuit in Cuzco, Peru.
Our goals are to (1) understand how the intensification of tourism intersects with heritage regulations and social media, aiding in the articulation of travel patterns across Cuzco's heritage landscape; and to (2) assess how aesthetic preferences and visuality become entangled with the rapidly evolving expectations of tourists, whose travel narratives are curated on social media and grounded in historic site representations.
