Since 2013, the C.E.A. Consulting s.r.l. acquired the bibliographic , photographic and documentation archives made by the archaeologist and ethnographer Gerhard Kapitän.
Gerhard Kapitän was born in Meissen, eastern Germany, in 1924 and accomplished his cultural education at the Hoschschule für bildende Künste in Dresda and at the Humboldt-Universität di Berlino.

Since 1958 he lived and worked, until he left in 2011, in Syracuse (Sicily). He was devoted, showing high competence, to underwater archeology and history and ethnographic research.

The C.E.A. Consulting srl, with a deep sense of responsibility towards such an important cultural heritage, has decided to invest its expertise to preserve, enhance and promote the results of Gerhard Kapitan work.

C.E.A. Consulting s.r.l. wishes that this could be established in cooperation with interested agencies and institutions and with the international community of scholars and motivated citizens

Among the forthcoming activities for the safeguard of this heritage are:

• the development of a museum dedicated to Gerhard Kapitän;
• organization and cataloging of cartaceous and photographic archive;
• to archive and to digitize the whole collection of documents and pictures.
