Mappit — every place has a story

The world's zeitgeist on a map. Mappit turns the world's news into a living, interactive map. An always-on news engine continuously reads what is happening in nearly two thousand places — its own crawler, which reads the world's publishers directly and supplies more than nine in ten new stories, working alongside frontier AI from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI in the jobs a crawler cannot do — and pins each story to the place it is about, on an interactive, time-aware map of the planet. Zoom into any city and you see what's happening there right now — grouped by topic, colored by mood, drawn only from publishers that clear a reliability bar and weighted toward the most trusted, marked with how many independent sources found it, and with every source link checked so the stories you read actually lead somewhere real. Scrub the calendar backwards and the map replays how the world looked on any past day, because each day's record is kept rather than replaced.

On top of that news layer, Mappit adds live views of the physical planet — earthquakes, wildfires, air quality, and weather — and a market layer that plots stock movements at companies' real headquarters. A built-in AI guide named Marco answers questions about any place and cites its sources — the news there and, from an atlas of open data, its population, borders and statistics, each figure with its year and source. Seven map apps show the numbers beside the news: they color the world's countries and America's states, counties and congressional districts by the economy, population, health, conflict and the 2026 US elections, from open data, and play them back through time. Anyone can browse for free; a subscription unlocks the ability to create and share your own places, collections, and data layers. And AI assistants can read Mappit directly: add https://mappit.ai/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant, free and without an account.

The core idea is simple and durable: place + time is the most natural way to organize what is happening in the world, and the value compounds every day as the record grows. The map is the interface; the permanent, corroborated, geolocated corpus of world events beneath it is the substance.

Mappit requires JavaScript for the interactive map. Every public place, pin, collection and profile also has a crawlable page — see the sitemap.

Mappit's analysis

Geography & Setting

Teano sits in northern Campania, in the province of Caserta, on the slopes below the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina. The town looks over a fertile plain crossed by routes that have connected Rome and Naples for more than two thousand years. The landscape is volcanic and green, with chestnut woods on the high ground, olive groves and vineyards below, and farmland spreading toward the Garigliano and Volturno valleys. The historic centre lies on a rise, while the railway junction of Teano Scalo sits down on the flat.

History

Teano's story begins long before Italy existed. As Teanum Sidicinum, it was the chief town of the Sidicini, an Oscan-speaking people. Their territory sat between Samnite and Campanian powers, and in the fourth century BC the town was drawn into the wars that ended with Roman dominance. Teanum grew into a significant Roman town on the Via Latina. Substantial remains survive, including parts of a theatre and other ancient structures.

In the Middle Ages the town became a bishopric and passed through Lombard, Norman and later feudal hands. The cathedral and the castle reflect that layered past, and the cathedral reuses ancient Roman material, a common practice in this part of Italy.

Teano is best known in Italian history for 26 October 1860, when Giuseppe Garibaldi met King Victor Emmanuel II on the road near the town. Garibaldi, whose volunteers had conquered the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, effectively handed the south over to the Piedmontese monarch, and the meeting became a central scene in the story of Italian unification. Today's date is its anniversary, and Teano is still the place Italian schoolbooks associate with it.

People & Demographics

Teano is a town of about 12,000 people, with a typical inland-Campanian profile: close-knit, family-oriented, and shaped by long-running emigration and a steady drift of young people toward larger cities. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small hamlets (frazioni) that make up part of the municipality.

Economy & Markets

The local economy rests on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, commerce and public services. Olive oil, wine, fruit and chestnuts from the Roccamonfina area are part of the regional food identity. The wider district is also known for mineral waters. Teano works as a service town for nearby villages, with weekly markets, shops and the offices and schools that serve the surrounding countryside.

Culture & Character

Teano has the feel of a small historic town that remembers it was once something bigger. Its cathedral, medieval fabric and Roman ruins sit within a compact centre, and the Risorgimento legacy is marked by commemorations and monuments. Religious festivals and local food traditions anchor the calendar. Visitors often use Teano as a quiet base for exploring the Roccamonfina volcanic park, the Via Latina's ancient route, and the other small towns of the Caserta hinterland.
