Experiencing a Serious Game for the Norman Castle of Aci Castello
Cultural heritage, in all its tangible and intangible expressions, is undergoing a process of renewal driven by the integration of digital technologies and participatory approaches. This study presents a pilot project developed within the SAMOTHRACE Fundation, focused on the design of a Serious Game dedicated to the Norman Castle of Aci Castello in Sicily. The project explores how game-based learning and interactive storytelling can enhance visit…
Digitization, Interpretation, and Valorization of Ruined Architecture
This paper examines the role of digital technologies in advancing archeological research, using two complex, stratified case studies—the Villa Reale of Haghia Triada in Crete and the rock-cut churches of Pantalica in Sicily—as reference points. Both sites, despite their geographical and chronological differences, present comparable challenges: fragmented evidence, incomplete documentation, and the need for multi-scalar interpretation. By integrat…
A method for similarity assessment between death masks and portraits through linear projection
Virtual Acropolis. Digital recreation of a Sicilian Archaic sanctuary
This paper deals with a project of virtual reconstruction of an entire archaeological site, the Sicilian Archaic sanctuary on the acropolis of Polizzello Mountain. This research program, called ’Virtual Acropolis’ has been developed in order to allow the experience of visiting an interactive and immersive 3D environments reconstructed in all and set in a realistic landscape. A visit that in the reality is currently impossible due to the still ong…
Virtual Restoration of Fragmented Glass Plate Photographs of Archaeological Repertoires
This paper describes a virtual restoration pipeline for the broken glass plates in the fund of the Department of Archaeological, Philological and Historical Studies of Catania University. This archive includes rare images of the excavation activities of the Department in Sicily and Greece. Several of the plates are damaged and fractured and require virtual realignment and restoration. We adapted to this case a restoration algorithm based on the u…
‘Coming back home’ . Il modello virtuale della statua romana di Asclepio del Museo di Siracusa (Italia)
The colossal torso of the god Asclepius, kept into the Castello Maniace during the Spanish domination of Sicily, is now one of the most significant examples of roman statuary in the Syracuse Museum. The recent restoration of the Castello Maniace has been celebrated in 2008 with an exhibition of archaeological finds obtained in the various excavations of the castle. The statue of Asclepius, which had for centuries been a part of the architecture t…
Laserscanning e 3D Modelling nell’archeologia urbana
Urban archaeology undoubtedly represents the most problematic branch of archaeological research, due to the many problems of conservation and promotion of the evidence. A significant example is presented by the excavations carried out by the Superintendency for Cultural Goods of Catania in the church of “Sant’Agata al Carcere”, located in the heart of down town Catania. The most important discovery of the archaeological campaign was part of a rui…
