Could you provide guidance on where and how I can access historical crop mapping datasets, specifically those detailing crop types, for regions in Italy or other European countries?

I am conducting research focused on agricultural bioenergy, particularly utilizing crop residues across various regions in Italy. To support this research, I need comprehensive crop mapping data that spans from the year 2000 to 2023. Specifically, I am looking for datasets that offer insights into crop types, distributions, and spatial changes over time.

I am already aware of datasets, e.g., EUROMAP 2018 and 2022 (available at http://data.europa.eu/89h/15f86c84-eae1-4723-8e00-c1b35c8f56b9), but I am interested in exploring additional sources that may provide:

Any guidance on relevant databases, archives, or specific institutions that manage these datasets would be greatly appreciated. Information on accessing restricted or specialized data sources, if applicable, would also be valuable.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Kind regards
