Abstract
Open-source software applications, especially those useful for GIS, have been used in the field of geology both in research and teaching at the University of Urbino for decades. The experiences described in this article range from land-surveying cases to cartographic processing and 3D printing of geological models. History of their use and development is punctuated by trials, failures, and slowdowns, but the idea of using digital tools in areas where they are traditionally frowned upon, such as in soil geology, is now rooted in and validated by applications in projects of various types. Although the current situation is not definitive, given that the evolution of information technology provides increasingly faster tools that are performance-oriented and easier to use, this article aims to contribute to the development of methodologies through an exchange of information and experiences.
