The Carthusian Monasteries of San Martino in Naples, San Giacomo in Capri and San Lorenzo in Padula are located on the territory of Region Campania. The work presented features an in depth study of the Neapolitan one, which follows, in its layout, at different altitudes, the natural decline of the hill of Sant'Elmo. The fascination and mystery, concealed by the complex of the Carthusian Monastery, can be brought to light through the different stages of the survey, which, in a collaboration including fields of different disciplines, was financed as a PRIN research project denominated: CHROME (Cultura! Heritage Resources Orienting Multimodal Experiences). The investigation activities took piace at the lnterdepartmental Research Centre URBANECO. The main purpose of the project is the pooling of multimedia, multimode data and its interdisciplinary treatment far the creation of a virtual agent able to increase the potentialities of interaction with the public visiting the sites and viewing works of cultura! interest. The survey carried out, with no contact and non-invasive equipment, allowed the determination of three-dimensional digita! models in fall compliance with the goals of the PRIN project.

A San Leucio l'incompiuta città di Ferdinandopoli racconta due storie: le aspirazioni di un sovrano, Ferdinando IV, e la parziale realizzazione di un'utopia urbana. sfruttando le moderne metodologie di rilievo fotogrammetrico digitale, lo studio ha permesso la realizzazione di un catalogo tridimensionale, metrico e colorimetrico, degli elementi ricorrenti nell' architettura costruita. Il confronto e l'integrazione tra i dati ottenuti e i risultati raggiunti dagli studi precedenti hanno fornito la base per la modellazione 30 del non costruito. l a ricostruzione virtuale è resa interattiva e navigabile, rendendo possibile la narrazione della storia incompiuta di un progetto illuminato.

San Leucio (Caserta) is one of the most interesting experiments in the economic, social and urban development of a Bourbon-era industrial city. The planning of the project under King Ferdinando IV is difficult to understand, given the loss of Collecini’s drawings and the failure to complete development of the utopian “Ferdinandopoli”. Nevertheless, the buildings actually constructed serve in illustrating architectural relationships, hierarchies and styles. These features make this project and its integration in the landscape one of the most important industrial experiments of the period. The current report derives from research by the universities of the Region of Campania. The first step is the acquisition of three-dimensional data on the built part of Ferdinandopoli, using digital photogrammetry. The second is the realization of a three-dimensional catalogue of the architectural components and elements, through their segmentation and matching in semantic families. This process serves in identifying recurring elements, useful for hypothetical reconstruction of the unrealized parts of this site

Natural hazards threaten many archaeological sites in the world, therefore, susceptibility analysis is essential to reduce their impacts and support site fruition by visitors. In this paper, rockfall susceptibility analysis of the western slope of the Cumae Mount in the Cumae Archaeological Site (Phlegraean Fields, Naples), already affected by rockfall events, is described as support to a management plan for fruition and site conservation. Being the first Greek settlement in southern Italy, the site has great historical importance and offers unique historical elements such as the Cumaean Sibyl&rsquo, s Cave. The analysis began with a 3D modeling of the slope through digital terrestrial photogrammetry, which forms a basis for a geomechanical analysis. Digital discontinuity measurements and cluster analysis provide data for kinematic analysis, which pointed out the planar, wedge and toppling failure potential. Subsequently, a propagation-based susceptibility analysis was completed into a GIS environment: it shows that most of the western sector of the site is susceptible to rockfall, including the access course, a segment of the Cumana Railroad and its local station. The work highlights the need for specific mitigation measures to increase visitor safety and the efficacy of filed-based digital reconstruction to support susceptibility analysis in rockfall prone areas.
