The archaeological site of Tyndaris (currently Tindari, municipality of Patti, province of Messina, Italy) served as the backdrop for an important technological and cultural initiative organized by mediaGeo on May 30, 2024: the “Technology for All on the Road 2024”. The event brought together university professors, experts in geomatics, archaeology, and engineering, as well as industry professionals engaged in applying advanced surveying methodologies. The main objective was to create precise and detailed digital documentation of a site useful for conservation, study, and tourism enhancement. During the event, a series of stateof- the-art surveying technologies were employed to map and meticulously document the topography and monuments of the ancient Greek, and later Roman, city in Sicily— an area for which a complete survey is still lacking.

The acquisition technologies developed by Haltadefinizione allow you to obtain very high resolution digital images of the paintings. Thanks to specially designed algorithms, in fact, it is possible to combine a large quantity of individual photographic shots of small portions of the portraits to obtain what is called a gigapixel image.

In this interview with Archeomatica, Lucio Russo, a physicist, mathematician, and historian of science, delves into a critical turning point in human history: the abrupt collapse of Hellenistic scientific knowledge following the tumultuous Roman conquest of the Mediterranean in the 2nd century BCE. Examining the near-total loss of writings and philosophical-scientific works from that era, the distinguished scholar highlights the challenge of recovering and fully understanding the lost scientific legacy. Throughout the conversation, reflections on potential parallels with the present situation emerge, emphasizing the danger of cultural regression in the age of digital knowledge. A thoughtful exploration that encourages us to carefully scrutinize the past in order to shape clear perspectives on the future of science and culture.

The interview discusses how paintings like those by Mantegna and Leombruno depict ancient Rome, blending myth and history to celebrate the religious power and humanistic culture of the 15th century, while suggesting a labyrinthine topography of the eternal city, integrating Christian and pagan elements into a complex symbolic and political fabric.

The project, born from an idea of the Polo Museale dell'Abruzzo, in the person of the Director Dott.ssa Lucia Arbace, under the supervision of the RUP of the Project, Dr. Giulia Tortoriello, entrusted to ARCHIMETRIA Group, a team of professionals who work in the field of 3D documentation and technological innovation applied to cultural heritage, led by Arch. Danilo Prosperi, founder and CTO of the study, was born in July 2017 and ended in March 2018. The aim of the project is to enhance and disseminate on a global scale the knowledge of the major Abruzzo museums and the extraordinary masterpieces of art and archeology exhibited in it, through the use of 3D technologies (scans and digital 3D reproductions in HD, Virtual Immersive and interactive HD tours, use of 3D viewers for virtual reality, 3D printing, etc.) and through the publication of contents in all areas of the official website of the Abruzzo Museum Complex, SketchFab and Google Maps and Street View.

Providing technical aides, such as smartphones, tablets, 3D visors for visitors to cultural sites, is an innovation which combining different technologies in order to offer experiences capable of bringing objects to life and suggesting further indepth information. In Italy too, experiences of augmented and/or virtual reality achieved through 3D reconstructions provide access to top quality scientificum - didactic content whose impact in communicating information is highly effective. In order to create these systems is crucial to establish synergy among persons with specialised skills: archaeologists, historians, engineers, architects, IT experts, 3D modellers and communicators, together with basic operations and production workflows.
