Since 2016 collaboration has been in progress with the Licia and Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti Art Study Centre Foundation in Lucca, which possesses an archive of nearly 200,000 photo images. The Federico Zeri Foundation has been providing its scientific know how to launch a project for re-ordering, cataloguing and upgrading the Lucca archive.

The database includes two distinct sets of images from the Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti photograph collection: "medieval art” and " contemporary art", to a total of 30,000 photographs and relative factsheets. The software for managing the database and front-end publication was designed by the firm IDS Unitelm, who also developed the Federico Zeri Foundation’s software.
