The history of the Military Geographical Institute starts from the Office of the General Staff of the Royal Italian Army which, after the Italian unification in 1861 had unified in a single structure, based in Turin, the original Ufficio del Corpo di Stato Maggiore del Regno Sardo, Ufficio Topografico Toscano and the Reale Officio Topografico Napoletano.. The office was then moved to Florence in 1865, at the same time as the Tuscan city was appointed capital of Italy, a city which is still the seat of the Institute today. With the Italian unification, it was recognized the need for the nation to be equipped with a unitary national cartography, the Government of the time entrusted in 1872, with a special law, this task to the Military Topographical Institute, created by the transformation of the military corps. This institute, renamed Istituto Geografico Militare in 1882, surveyed the territory of the State forming the new Carta Topografica d’Italia, at a scale of 1:100,000. This topographical work, largely carried out using the praetorian tablet, took over 30 years.
