The Villa Diodati is significant to the story's setting of the novel Frankenstien because it is the mansion that was once owned by Lord Byron, and the place where Mary Shelly wrote her novel the summer of 1816. I found this information from Atlas Obscura, a digital media company and travel database that catalogs unusual, historic, and cultural destinations. This source is an example of collective authorship because it is a catalog created through contributions from many different explorers rather than one singular author. Mapping this location on Cove adds a grassroots layer to the story by making the real-life setting of Frankenstein visible on a digital map and allowing me to contribute to how others can explore and understand the story's history and setting.
