  Thanks to its heterogeneity, the Biscari Archive, one of the most
representative family's archives in Sicily, in a new digital historical study,
became a valuable set of computable data that can lead historians to
reconstruct the history of the city of Catania and Sicily. Ignazio Paterno'
Castello and his wife Anna, princes of Biscari, were the promoters of the
city's reconstruction after the 1693 earthquake, both politically and
culturally. How could the digital historical methodology fulfil the traditional
Historiography gap about how this noble family built its mighty? As we know,
Humanities cannot easily be encapsulated in a few understandable numbers and
names. However, historians, boosting Artificial Intelligence, such as
Transkribus, and applying Historical Networks Analysis could help computers
infer computable meaning from the digitised historical primary source. The
Turing Machine became the most powerful tool to help historians understand what
happened in the Past and identify the actors in cities and places' cultural and
political renewal.
