Tangible and intangible elements of cultural heritage are interconnected in supporting the growth of sustainable and resilient urban lifestyles. In the case of sites of historical and archaeological relevance, some spaces were conceived and designed to host specific practices (e.g., religious, musical, theatrical, political, etc.). However, the reasons for designing those historical spaces in a certain way often remain substantially unknown, due to the lack of available documental sources related to their planning. In the case of the intangible vibroacoustic field, part of this information...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is often a fundamental tool for cultural heritage preservation. However, under some conditions, coherent noise can occur in the radargram interfering with the useful signal. Reflections from above-surface objects, such as walls or vaults, and buildings, could be recorded in the radar sections and could hide subsurface reflections linked to the structures of interest. The problem of surface scattering can be addressed by using the Discrete Wavelet Transform analysis which decomposes the signal allowing the recognition of different anomalies coming from different...

The preservation of cultural heritage buildings and infrastructures requires a multidisciplinary approach to provide a real-time knowledge of their dynamical structural behavior. For this task, an interesting and effective procedure can be based on the development of tailored dynamic models, optimized through an iterative synergic process, leaded by data provided by an adaptive and modular distributed monitoring system. A Finite Element Model (FEM) is a valid solution: it is not only an effective reference dynamical model, but it can also be used to define the potential technical...

In remote sensing multispectral and hyperspectral Imaging are a valid method to analyse Earth Observation (EO) data. If multispectral imaging is largely used and well knowed in EO and refers to the scomposition of the spectral range of the instruments onboard in few channels (typically from 6 to 12), hyperspectral Imaging gains a greater spectral resolution and refers to obtain the spectrum for each pixel in the image, with the purpose of finding objects, identifying materials, or detecting processes through the structural analysis of the source (in SWIR range) or chemical behaviour (in VIS...

Recent advances in the field of imaging technologies rapidly spread new methods of representing cultural heritage, expanding the possibilities for art historians, archaeologists, restorers and conservation scientists. In this regard, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and three-dimensional (3D) modeling using close-range photogrammetry become rapidly common and widely used by an heterogeneous public, multiplying the possibilities of understanding artworks from different points of view. This paper discusses the results that were achieved by applying these techniques to better understand...

Recently, some museums started seeing in a new light their collections and searching for overlooked traces of painted colours: one example is the National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia, nowadays in north-eastern Italy, a Roman city close to the Adriatic Sea. Among the sculptures with an easily recognizable polychromy, five were chosen (three statues, a funerary relief and a fragment of architectural decoration), in order to give new and unpublished information about the colours on marble and stone of the Roman Aquileia between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century CE, with the support...

Roman wall paintings at the archeological site of Ostia Antica dating from the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE were studied in an integrated non-invasive approach using portable instrumentation, namely: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Visible Induced Luminescence (VIL), External Reflectance Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (ER-FTIR), Raman and Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopies. The objective of this study is threefold: to investigate the materials and techniques of wall paintings at Ostia Antica in order to gain insight...

The paper sketches an overview of the current italian situation in relation to the concept of metaverse describing the spreading enterprises in terms of platforms, tools and knowledge leveraged . At the same time, the perspectives of such initiatives (and of the metaverse itself, as final goal of a long-lasting dream in human story) are discussed.

The present research proposes the beta version of a collaborative workflow which aims at linking HBIM and Extended Matrix using Open-Source coding and visualisation tools. The developed workflow was tested on a significant case study, the Roman Theatre of Terracina, whose excavation works started in 2019 and were initially documented through an integrated TLS and UAV digital survey. In 2021 and 2022 the excavation data were updated, also using SLAM technology, thus the proposed approach focuses on the systematisation of the analysis and processing of the data regarding the consecutively...
