Fragmentary painting, starting from recent years, after being treated for long time exclusively from a stylistic point of view, has entered into the broader material culture’s theme. In this new perspective, this material has assumed a growing dignity as a source of architectural, structural, social and economic information, opening up new perspectives that are currently being adopted also in Italy. For fragments filing there are some wellestablished protocols, however less attention has been devoted to discuss detection methods and graphic documentation standards for this class of material....

In this paper we want to explore the workshop of medieval surveyors to better understand the circumstances of emerging and evolution of the medieval towns. On the basis of two examples from Silesia, Poland - Namyslów and Dzierżoniów, we illustrated problems connected with application of two methods: modular analysis and cosine quantogram. We discuss their usefulness for reconstruction of the original measuring system and town s layout. Despite the limitations as: level of precision in construction of medieval town s layout at the moment of its foundation, later changes of plots division and...

The cultural heritage of Maredolce (Palermo) includes an Arab-Norman castle that originally stood on the shores of an artificial lake carved out of a basin dug out of the calcarenite and filled with water thanks to the channeling of the springs of San Ciro upstream. Subsequently, the lowering of the water table and the high hydraulic permeability of the outcropping rocks caused the lake to dry up. Recently, a project of enhancement of the cultural heritage required the restoration of the lake. The geophysical study presented here, including the integrated use of different techniques such as...

The classification of ceramic archaeological fragments is based on shape, dimensions, decorations, technological elements, color and material. Nowadays, all of these features are still recognized and analyzed by a skilled operator. It follows that the resulting characterization of shape and sizes of archaeological fragments is poorly reproducible and repeatable. With a view to overcome these limitations, a computer-based methodology, able to extract automatically several quantitative information from high-density discrete geometric models acquired by the laser scanning of archaeological...

This paper deals with a geophysical experimental activity carried out in the Maxentius Complex, an archaeological site located in Rome, Italy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of GPR for the structural detailing of buried roman baths structures. As a result, GPR allowed to confirm the literature-based information, i.e. to precisely locate the tanks of the thermal area. Their presents was already known through previous excavation then buried and no more visible. In addition, the tomographic analysis highlighted the presence of two further tanks, thereby suggesting...

The Corsini Throne preserved in the Corsini Gallery in Rome has been investigated by an integrated approach involving non-invasive technologies: photogrammetry and structured light. The advantages and potential of the integration of these two techniques are illustrated in this paper. The ENEA R.C. has conducted survey campaign on the Corsini Throne preserved at Corsini Gallery in Rome. The activity was developed in the frame of the WeACT3 Project (Acting Together - Technology for Art, Culture, Tourism and Territory) jointly signed by CIVITA Association, of which ENEA is an honorary member,...

In this work, mid-wave infrared (MWIR) imaging techniques are applied to the study of three XVII century paintings on canvas preserved at the Chigi Palace in Ariccia. In particular, an integrated approach based on the use of pulsed thermography (PT) and MWIR reflectography (MIRR) is proposed for the analysis of the Primavera by Filippo Lauri e Mario Nuzzi, the Ritratto di Mario Nuzzi che dipinge un vaso di fiori by Giovanni Maria Morandi and Mario Nuzzi and the Ebbrezza di Noè by Andrea Sacchi. It is shown how the combined use of these techniques enables to perform the depthresolved...

Monitoring water content in cultural heritage materials through non-invasive and easy-touse TDR/TDT (time-domain reflectometry / timedomain transmission) measurement systems has the potential to enhance conservation/restoration activities. In this study, two different probes for TDR/TDT technology, Square Patch Resonator (SPR) and Split Ring Resonator (SRR), were compared. The two probes were tested on two different materials (leccese and gentile stone), each one of them at three different levels of water content. All tests were conducted ten times with two different external impressed...

20th century architectural archives of the pre-digital era are today at the center of the interest of scholars involved in historical studies as well as in conservation, valorization, and communication disciplines. The enhancement of wide archival heritages could take advantage of methodologies, techniques, and tools offered by digital revolution. This is the case of the work shown in the present proposal. It develops an experience of SfM applied to a physical scale model that represents the Turin Horse-Racing designed by Carlo Mollino. This practice fuels considerations and new...
