IL RESTAURO VIRTUALE IN ARCHEOLOGIA

Il restauro virtuale è l’insieme di metodologie informatiche integrate di Computer Graphic, sia bidimensionali che tridimensionali,finalizzate alla restituzione di un bene archeologico, architettonico o artistico nella sua completa, o quasi, integrità. Questa nuova disciplina, che sta progressivamente affermandosi in ambito accademico, coniuga le attività e le metodologie di ricerca proprie delle cosiddette hard sciences con quelle più tradizionali di estrazione umanistica. Il virtuale è entrato a far parte della ricerca archeologica dapprima con un ruolo didattico-divulgativo (ricostruzioni ideali di edifici, città, territori ecc.), e, solo più recentemente, con fini conoscitivi, costituen…

Ricerche a Solunto (2022)

New Investigations at Solunto (2022) ∙ The last fieldwork campaign in Solunto by the University of Palermo, in the sanctuary above the theatre and in the baths near the agora (the North Baths), obtained some relevant results concerning both the building sequences and the architectural configurations. In the sanctuary, a clearer picture is emerging of the oldest layout, dating from the 4th century B.C. (1st phase). After the first reshaping of the street grid and of the urban layout (2nd phase), in the second half of 2nd century B.C., an overall restyling (3rd phase) gave the whole sanctuary area an impressive organization into terraces linked through ramps and stairways. A striking feature,…

Pittura antica e restauro virtuale

This contribution presents the preliminary work, carried out over the past few months, concerning the reconstructive study of the paintings and mosaics of the Centennial House ", Insula IX-8, in Pompeii. In particular, the work focused on the decorated surfaces of 11 rooms located along the western part of the house, between the large central peristyle and the centenary alley. The different state of conservation of the paintings and mosaics made it necessary to use two different methods of digital intervention: the "virtual restoration" and the "virtual reconstruction". Both aim to reconstruct the initial condition of the appearance of the paintings at the time of their creation and use the…

Il Teatro romano di Augusta Bagiennorum. Dallo studio dei resti all’ipotesi ricostruttiva del progetto

Il Piemonte romano ha conservato i segni manifesti della grandiosità del programma edilizio avviato dall’impero di Augusto in numerose città di nuova fondazione. La mole del progetto di un teatro e di un anfiteatro ha richiesto l’impiego di materiale, tecnologia e risorse artistiche, nel cantiere antico, in quantità tali da conservarne nei secoli le testimonianze più eclatanti. E ha inciso a tal punto sul disegno delle città che, nonostante la spoliazione dei marmi decorativi e dei materiali da costruzione, se ne riconoscono talvolta i tratti nelle stratificazioni delle epoche successive. Giuseppe Assandria e Giovanni Vacchetta avviarono gli scavi nella piana della Roncaglia, frazione poco …

Alesa Arconidea (Tusa): proposta ricostruttiva dell’agora tardo ellenistica

In the second half of the second century BC, in the wake of the building renovation that affected the most important urban centers of northern Sicily, even the ancient city of Alesa Arconidea remodeled its monumental structure. The agora/forum, in particular, was restructured in a scenographic system, acquiring the architectural characteristics of a typical Hellenistic monumental complex, similar to those of Greece and Asia Minor, by which it was influenced. In planimetric terms, to date up to the present time, the agora represents a unicum in Sicily because of its Π shape with deep double columns of the arcade, which enclose a large square excluded to vehicular traffic. Recent researches a…
