About Aperto

Making historical knowledge accessible to everyone through AI technology

Why Aperto exists

Monuments and landmarks have stories to tell. But usually you're standing there without knowing what you're looking at. Aperto fixes that – take a photo, get the story.

Whether you're a tourist in a new city, a local wanting to learn more about your surroundings, or a history enthusiast, Aperto is your personal guide that's always in your pocket.

How it works

The app uses image analysis to recognize what you photograph. Then we fetch information from Wikipedia and Google Places and present it in a readable format.
