Behind MountainCarto, there's me, Marco Barbieri. For over twenty years I have been working in cartography: if you need a map — for a public body, a nature reserve, a publisher, a project or an institution — I can help you, from project definition to delivery of the final file.

What I do

Hiking cartography

Hiking maps for national parks, protected areas, municipalities, CAI sections, mountain huts, and alpine guides. Trail network surveys, OpenStreetMap data updates, graphic design, and print layout. I have worked with CAI, several Italian national parks, municipalities, and tourism agencies.

Territory map Rete di Riserve Val di Cembra Avisio — scale 1:25,000 — Rete di Riserve Val di Cembra Avisio, Trentino.

2.5D panoramic maps — MountainCarto style

The maps you see on this site can be created on commission for your territory. Municipalities, tourism boards, mountain huts, alpine associations: if you want a three-dimensional and narrative representation of your landscape, this is the solution. Every map is an original product, designed from scratch.

GIS consulting

Spatial analysis, geographic data management and structuring, thematic cartography, DEM processing and 3D models. I work with QGIS, PostGIS, GDAL and Python for automation and custom tools.

Hiking map Elba Island and Tuscan Archipelago with bathymetry — Elba Island and Tuscan Archipelago — selected hiking map of Tuscany.

Geological cartography

Production of geological maps including geographic database management, graphic styling, and preparation for typographic printing. I have experience with official geological mapping projects (e.g. CARG project) and other thematic geological cartography.

Web cartography

All the maps I produce exist in digital format and can be published on the web as interactive maps: browsable, zoomable, and embeddable in websites and portals. It is a natural extension of traditional cartographic work, opening up further possibilities for the use and distribution of geographic data.

Who contacts me

I work mainly with public and private bodies: municipalities, national parks, tourism boards, hiking associations, publishers, professional studios, and communication agencies with territorial projects.

How it works

You get in touch and describe the project. I reply with questions, then with a clear, no-obligation quote. If we agree, we get started: detailed brief, development, agreed revisions, delivery in the formats you need (print, digital, web).

Professional cartography takes time, data, and attention to detail. Every quote reflects this commitment.
