LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL BENE STORICO ARTISTICO ED ARCHITETTONICO ITALIANO TRAMITE LE NUOVE TECNOLOGIE: DUE CASI STUDIO

My dissertation focuses on how the experience of understanding of artistic and architectural patrimony (beni culturali) can be enriched through their diffusion via new technologies. The research has taken form as a set of case studies where criteria were established leading to the choice of two significant Italian examples Renaissance buildings, each with interiors that contain accompanying ensembles of paintings integrated into the physical space where they are present. I describe the development of evaluation processes that lead to the use of different technologies and to collaborations with a wide spectrum of experts consulted in order to bring the case studies to an advanced level of applicability. This technological research was accompanied by studies in the development of content reflecting the art-historical character of the subjects involved. The methodologies of these two aspects, technological and art historical, combine in our final results, embodying the theory to practice nature of Digital Humanities as a contemporary field of study.

La mia ricerca è incentrata sulle formulazioni e le giustificazioni delle metodologie stabilite per la realizzazione di un modello virtuale e interattivo mirante a valorizzare il bene storico-artistico e architettonico. L'indagine si sviluppa sulla base di uno status quaestionis riguardante le visite virtuali nel contesto museale. Essa espone le procedure e le operazioni che, nell’insieme, hanno permesso la realizzazione del modello e del contenuto scientifico e storico-artistico fruibile tramite lo stesso. Il mio lavoro abbraccia inoltre la ricerca storico-artistica per la produzione di contenuto documentaristico fruibile tramite tale modello digitale.
