Italia del Père-Lachaise, a mobile application initiated by TERIA
As a homage to famous Italian personalities, the Consulate General and the COMITES (Committee of Italians Residing Abroad) have launched the editorial project “l’Italia del Père-Lachaise”. From this project was born an interactive application that allows to geolocate the location of the tombstones of the Père Lachaise Cemetery.

This editorial project inspired the idea of creating an interactive mobile application created by TERIA, sponsor of the artist Virginio Vona, who was commissioned to create an original comic strip “l’Italia del Père Lachaise, il canto del Gallo”. TERIA was therefore chosen to manage the design of this geolocation application.

The mobile app
Simple and interactive, this interactive application allows visitors to geolocate Italian deceased personalities during their walk through the Père-Lachaise Cemetery. When the application is launched, a map appears with the positioning of the different burials. By clicking on one of the positions, a pop-up window appears with a brief description of the character.
