First, a photographic cabinet was set up in Ostia, providing photos directly on the site; then, a corps of military Engineers (Brigata Specialisti del Genio) was requested to take aerial photographs from a balloon, resulting in one of the first aerial photomosaics ever produced (1911) that was instrumental in providing archaeologists with the first, complete map of the excavations; last, stereoscopy was introduced in 1912-1913 as a popular way of documenting life on the site.
