The long series (1899.9–1979.0) of latitude observations made at Carloforte in the framework of the International Latitude Service is analyzed to determine a secular trend. The value of the linear rate obtained from the classical astrometric results agrees fairly well with the value derived from recent SLR and GPS observations carried out at the Cagliari Observatory.
