The paper focuses on the work carried out in the insula 4-6 of Paestum (Italy), in the framework of a collaboration between the Archaeological Park of Paestum and the University of Naples L'Orientale; the contribution shows the drone to BIM solution applied for the study of the insula and the related methodological approach. The combination of the digital survey with the parametric reconstruction of the structures, which characterizes the so-called ABIM (Archaeological Building Information Modelling), provides a complete information system useful for different purposes, from documentation to...

The research described in this paper shows the results of preliminary analyses carried out on an artwork housed in a museum complex. A three-dimensional model of the sculpture, resulting from a laser scanner survey, has been analysed to understand its current state and seismic response, from a quantitative and qualitative point of view. The results highlight the great advantages resulting from integration of traditional and novel procedures in the field of conservation of artistic assets.

The essay illustrates the choices aimed at building a digital database of military architectures made in Sardinia during the Second World War. It is an historical cultural heritage characterized by an interesting landscape value, composed by more than 1.500 artifacts positioned along the coast of the island and designed to protect the urban centers and areas of strategic interest. The small bunkers built adapting the models designed by the Italian and German Military Genius gave rise to an interesting repertoire. The need for mimesis of these sentries has in fact required an adaptation to...

The article proposes the results of a research aimed at supporting a conservation work and enhancement of a monumental cult building of the Byzantine era, the abbey of Santa Maria del Pàtire, located in the municipality of Rossano (CS - Italy) one of the most interesting Byzantine architectures in Calabria. The research started with a historical survey and an identification of the relevant components of the abbey. The heart of the research is the characterization of the church constitutive materials for conservative purposes, in a cultural perspective of prevention of potential degradation...

Traces of Ca-oxalate films were found on the stone surfaces of stones of some Sardinian medieval Churches of the Giudicati period. The study aims to define their distribution and microstratigraphy on the different architectonic stone elements and to clarify their precise roles as result of probable ancient conservation. Ca-oxalate films show a variable color from greyish, to rosy or yellowish and generally they are present on the decorative architectonic elements of monuments. Their thickness is variable (10-50 m) owing to the roughness of the stone surfaces. XRD analyses performed directly...

Sedimentary rocks are among the most used in historical buildings, as they are more readily available in the area and because they are also more easily extractable, in virtue in general of lower mechanical resistance. Among these the most used are limestones and sandstones. The former are represented by a remarkable variety of lithologies, with highly variable characteristics, passing from the almost pure, massive and not very porous limestones, to those with a variable arenaceous-clayey component which instead are characterized by a low compactness and consequent high porosity (up to 35%)....

Over the years, the use of technological tools has increased more and more to encourage the fruition of works of art and artefacts through virtual experiences and the creation of 3D models. Among the various techniques used for the creation of 3D models, photogrammetry has proven itself to be relatively cheap and versatile. Unfortunately, it often happens that many works of art and artefacts of archaeological and cultural importance and value are kept in museum deposits away from the public eye. Through this work, we try to analyse the use of 3D modelling by means of photogrammetry as a...

This paper documents the chemical, mineralogical and petrographic characteristics, and some physical properties of the black limestones that were exploited in the Middle Ages for building the Pisa's monumental architecture. The black limestones are worthy of particular importance in the medieval Pisa's constructions because they are used to build important buildings (S. Maria Assunta Cathedral, Leaning Tower, Baptistery and several other city churches) and, in particular, the typical black layers that characterize the Pisan architecture are almost always made with these stones. The main...

This paper presents the preliminary results of an analysis regarding the thermal conditions of the environment that surrounds two historic clusters in Nicosia and Limassol Districts (Cyprus). This investigation was accomplished by exploiting Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 LDCM sensors. A multitemporal analysis from 2013 onwards over these two clusters was performed using the Google Earth Engine big data cloud platform, as well as the ENVI software for the calibration and analysis of the images. In total, 79 Landsat 7 ETM+ and 70 Landsat 8 LDCM images were downloaded and processed. Images were...

The registration permits to positioning in a single reference system point clouds acquired from different points of view. Since this is typically obtained with an iterative numerical method, it represents an important source of error in the entire reverse engineering process. As all iterative methods, such errors depend on the choice of the initial solution; therefore, this process requires an expert user who, by using dedicated software, choices the sequence of clouds to be registered, imposes for each pairwise the first attempt registration, launches the iterative method, and verifies the...
