The Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) has developed the Geodatabase “Linea di Costa”. that allows to perform spatial analysis on the recorded geometrical elements, and to provide a periodic update on the evolution of the coastline. The main objective of this work is to highlight the potential of a continuously updated geodatabase over time in monitoring and analysing the state of the coasts at a local level, presenting one of several case studies carried out by ISPRA, following specific requests related to local coastal dynamics received from the stakeholders.
