The aim of this research work is the development of a method to characterize and quantify the various components present in the black crusts that due to atmospheric pollution have developed on the surfaces of buildings and monuments. The carbonaceous fraction is the main cause of blackening of architectural surfaces and is involved in black crusts formation. A new methodology based on the use of TGA/DSC and CHN analysis has been set up in this work allowing easily to determine organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC). Four standard samples were prepared, with the aim to simulates black...

Aim of the present research is the setup of an alternative methodology and instrumentation to be applied for cleaning ancient tapestries which need restoration. A new instrument based on the simultaneous dispensing and aspiration of water (hydro-aspiration method) and capable of removing the deposited particulate matter (DPM), has been developed and its performances tested on an ancient polymateric tapestry belonging a precious series called Ulysses Stories, stored at the Quirinale Palace (Rome). This innovative system has been compared to traditional methodologies commonly employed by...

The paper has the main role of highlighting the advantages resulting from the combination of different 3D survey methods and how the approaches that involve data and methods fusion can be advantageous in cases where the environment in which one operates is particularly impervious and not very inclined to be faced with traditional solutions. UAV Photogrammetry, TLS and the innovative 3D scanning based on SLAM technology are combined for the investigation and the documentation of a suggestive landscape and archaeological park. The hand held SLAM based scanner, capable of generating the point...

This paper illustrates a 3D survey performed at the well-known Villa di Domiziano site in the Circeo National Park using the new Leica Mobile Mapping System (MMS) BLK2GO. The project's aim is to identify and document earthwork anomalies, a type of evidence extremely frequent in the Villa, but difficultly traceable both for site s extension and for the presence of mixed vegetation, composed of dense foliage of maritime pines and brushwood. This research, realized within the project The Domitian Villa: An Imperial Residence in Sabaudia, Italy, winner of the 2019 Grant for the helby White and...

Ca Foscari University is working on different archaeological topics to enhance knowledge about shipwrecks through digital technologies applied on data archive and legacy data, from a wreck of a Napoleonic brick to cargos of amphoras of Byzantine and Roman period. The potential of digital technologies has allowed us to analyse and elaborate different kind of documentation, also of archive, to obtain 3D models that could be studied and visualized with innovative solution and technologies. The paper presents an original proposal to create a 3D virtual model on an ancient shipwreck from archival...

Very often our Cultural Heritage deals with several cases of lost monuments or part of them, due to destruction, replacement or radical changes caused over time. Today the documentation of intangible because lost heritage can be supported by virtual reconstruction, based on a multidisciplinary approach, for both scientific and cultural-leisure applications. Currently, the use of 3D digital acquisition techniques represents the most popular means for the documentation and digitization of our Heritage. The advantage of recreating a detailed virtual model of an invisible place can, on one hand,...

Italy is one of the Nation with the wider number of cultural heritage buildings and the monitoring of their health is the only way to preserve them. The integration of traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system in historical buildings is often very difficult due to the raw material employed, the geometric complexity of the constructions and the need to monitor multiple control points. Aim of the paper is to extend the monitoring of masonry historical constructions by using an innovative approach based on the use of finite elements mathematical models to detect a reduced number of...

In this work, the first results on the settlement analysis of the masonry umbrella vault located in the Masegra Castle (Sondrio, Italy) are presented. An umbrella vault is a particular type of cross vault in which the high number of sails is disposed according to an umbrella-shaped configuration. For geometry reasons, these vaults presents typically a good load-bearing capacity when subjected to vertical and horizontal loads. Therefore, the most critical issue is given by settlements of the supporting walls. A geometrical model based on NURBS surfaces has been derived starting from a...

In this paper we propose a new Internet of Things architecture for health and environmental monitoring of cultural heritage sites. The proposed architecture supports a broad range of sensor nodes and wireless technologies and thus can be profitably used in several application scenarios related to the management of cultural heritage sites, from microclimate and structural monitoring to security and surveillance applications and even for multimedia content distribution. In particular, the architecture supports the LoRa protocol so that it can be used even in outdoor scenarios such as...

The present paper focuses on the application of an innovative image-based monitoring methodology derived from the Motion Magnification (MM). The method proved to be very useful for monitoring structural vibration of buildings, included cultural heritage. In particular, some case studies of outdoor experiments on Cultural Heritage sites were carried out: the so-called Temple of Minerva Medica in Rome, the Ponte delle Torri of Spoleto and the Archeological complex of the Crypta Balbi, in Rome. The studied structures were monitored by a smart but low-cost device (camera, smartphone, tablet...
