Nuove ricerche a Solunto (2021)
2021
New researches in Solunto (2021) · The paper presents an overview of the ongoing researches in Solunto by the University of Palermo. In 2021 stratigraphical sondages were undertaken in two areas of the town: 1) in the great sanctuary above the theatre, in the frame of a major project aimed at addressing several still unresolved issues. That area, as a matter of fact, has never been considered as a whole; the sacred buildings have not been studied, and their mutual relationships and the links with the adjacent terraces have never been properly examined; 2) in the North Baths near the agora, as a corollary of the systematic study of water management, some sondages were made by G. Polizzi. Fin…
Architettura altomedievale nel Santuario di San Michele: analisi stratigrafica degli elevati e studio ricostruttivo 3D
2012
Il Santuario di San Michele a Monte Sant’Angelo (FG) costituisce uno dei più importanti e antichi luoghi della cristianità occidentale. La sede del culto riservato all’Angelo è posta all’interno di una Caverna situata a metà del fianco settentrionale del rilievo montuoso sul cui pianoro si estende il centro abitato. Il contributo riguarda lo studio architettonico, dal rilievo alla lettura stratigrafica muraria fino alla ricostruzione virtuale, del monumento di età longobarda The Sanctuary of San Michele in Monte Sant’Angelo (FG) is one of the most important and ancient places of Western Christianity. The seat of the cult reserved for the Angel is placed inside a Cave located in the middle o…
La cornice Ionica del tempio G di Selinunte. Rilievo e interpretazione per la ricostruzione virtuale.
2013
This research is focused on the virtual reconstruction of the Ionic cornice of temple G of Selinunte, as a case study for the definition of a virtual reconstruction method of collapsed walls elements in archaeological contexts. The complexity of the ruins of the temple suggested a thorough archaeological analysis of the fragments of the Ionic cornice that made it possible to identify traces of the construction process left by stonecutters during the worksite such as unfinished surfaces. The study of these surfaces, together with the dimensional data surveyed, provided the information to reposition the fragments in their supposed original position, and thus develop a virtual reconstruction o…
Il progetto di Archeologia Virtuale ad Alesa Arconidea
2023
The Virtual Archaeology project at Alesa Arconidea · Virtual Archeology is the field of application that finalizes the use of information technologies for the knowledge, enhancement and communication of the archaeological heritage. It deals with the reconstruction of artifacts, buildings, landscapes of the past through three-dimensional models, hypertexts and multimedia solutions. The goal of Virtual Archeology is to promote the development of formalized investigation procedures and methodologies to acquire, represent, process and communicate data while producing new information and research tools that go beyond traditional forms and bring a contribution to the progress of the studies and p…
Hulot's Selinunte: digital analysis and virtual reconstruction
2021
Some drawings feature a powerful evocative nature, capable of presenting a truthful vision that can replace, in collective imagination, the actual expression of reality. This is the case of the "restorations" of Selinunte proposed by the French architect Jean-Louis Hulot (Paris 1871 -1959) which still today evoke the splendours of the ancient city. Thanks to his accurate surveys and inspired by the visit to the remains of further ancient cities such as Priene, Tera, Delos, and Pompeii, Hulot proposed in his watercolour drawings a vision of a "living" city, rendered at the height of its architectural and social magnificence. The paper presents a study on digital solutions that combine data f…
Modelli interoperabili per Cultural Heritage Recording. Le cupole a torrini di Sicilia e Castiglia.
La ricerca indaga l’origine e l’evoluzione di uno specifico modello di cupola su tamburo a pianta circolare o poligonale, con contrafforti cilindrici sull’asse dei piloni della crociera. Sei casi studio in Spagna e in Sicilia sono stati studiati attraverso il riesame delle fonti storiche e sono state analizzate le matrici geometriche sottese al progetto; i casi studio ancora esistenti sono stati rilevati con metodi laser scanning e fotogrammetrici. I modelli tridimensionali sono stati utilizzati per una verifica del contributo statico offerto dai torrini alla stabilità delle strutture. The research work is focused on the origin and the modifications of a peculiar dome on tambour having a ci…
Reconstruction of urban sites from photos
2019
Abstract. This paper reports the results of an experiment that aims at the virtual reconstruction of a urban site that has been partially reshaped during the 20th century; the reconstruction process is based on period photos. The chosen case study is the eldest harbour of Palermo, named ‘Cala’; the site was bombed during World War II and new buildings took the place of the ruined ones. Two period photos, taken from an aircraft, document the buildings that were destroyed by bombs. The 3D restitution process used the ‘inverse’ projection from period photos (2D) to the virtual space (3D) ; the first step was therefore addressed to the calculation of the inner parameters (focal length, principa…
AR to Rediscover Heritage: the Case Study of Salerno Defense System
2022
Recognizing and transmitting the uniqueness and identity of one’s territory represents fundamental step to guarantee its sustainability, protection and valorisation. Of particular importance, moreover, is the issues of the lesser-known heritage of great value but which, unfortunately, in some cases is still little known and often in a state of neglect. However, the diffusion of new technology and the great development of digitization positively contribute to the accessibility and visibility of these patrimonies, increasing the knowledge and the dissemination. This contribution focuses on one of the towers of the coastal defence system, a perfect example of a lesser-known architecture of gre…
Il Teatro Nord e le mura proto-bizantine di Hierapolis di Frigia. Dall'indagine topografica alla ricostruzione 2D e 3D
2012
Il Teatro Nord e la cinta muraria proto-bizantina di Hierapolis di Frigia (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turchia sud-occidentale) sono stati a lungo trascurati dalle attività di ricerca della Missione Archeologica Italiana, concentrata su monumenti meglio conservati e con un apparato architettonico e scultoreo più rilevante. Solo dal 2008 essi sono stati oggetto di indagini sistematiche da parte dei ricercatori del Laboratorio di Topografia Antica, Archeologia e Telerilevamento dell'Istituto per i Beni Archeologici e Monumentali del CNR (Lecce). Lo studio di dettaglio dei resti conservati, realizzato integrando rilievo topografico, prospezioni geofisiche ed indagini geologiche, ha permesso di definir…
Dal disegno alla misura. Ricostruzione del fronte di palazzo Aiutamicristo a Palermo
2020
I laser scanner e la fotogrammetria SfM hanno scardinato il legame tradizionale fra misura e disegno, fissato negli eidotipi che spesso prefiguravano i disegni di restituzione. Il contributo che segue intende dimostrare, attraverso una esemplificazione su un caso studio, che le tecnologie digitali e il lavoro di indagine su repliche del reale, esaltano, attraverso nuovi modi di interazione fra disegno e misura, la possibilità di indagare l’architettura costruita per decodificarne lo schema, il progetto. Il caso studio prescelto è il fronte principale di palazzo Aiutamicristo, costruito a Palermo a partire dal 1490 su progetto di Matteo Carnilivari. Il prospetto di palazzo Aiutamicristo avrà…
