The use of ICT in the field of Cultural Heritage offers unprecedented opportunities to improve cultural sites management (e.g., archaeological areas or museum). Taking advantage of innovative methods of data acquisition through ambient intelligence and space sensing infrastructures, the Co.ME. project has developed a system to turn exhibitions into sensitive spaces, able to quantify and register visitors’ behavior. A solution that provides to museum professionals all the necessary data to understand their public, making possible to structure a cultural offer based on visitors’ needs. After a short theoretical introduction on the project framework, the paper presents the case study of the Civic Museums of Palazzo Buonaccorsi in Macerata (Italy), demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in terms of both data collection and monitoring system; useful solutions to improve museum installations and communication, as well to optimally plan staff attendance.

The paper deals with the first results of an ongoing research on the issues of digitization of CH for educational and museum purposes. The research starts from the study of the small plaster casts collection kept inside the Santa Croce complex at the University of Cagliari. The workflow aims to investigate the potential of advanced technologies by reconciling the needs strictly related to the two principles of measurement and visualization. The construction of an information system will facilitate not only the classification and management of the digital plaster collection but also communication for scientific and didatic purposes. Two different possible applications are considered: the first for the construction of a web platform for the remote interactive query of the database, the second for the virtual visit of the rooms that host some of the casts through the delivery platform for point & click games developed in the PAC-PAC research project.

Recent developments in the technologies of reproducibility have made it possible to experience visits to heritage sites and artifacts at a distance. These reproductions imply a rearrangement of the space of reception of heritage. This phenomenon can be called relocation. We shall argue that it is a common element to the processes of “patrimonialization” and “mechanical reproducibility”. Making-heritage implies a rearrangement of the space around an artifact, this rearrangement also takes place during its mechanical reproduction. In this paper we will discuss some forms of relocations of heritage and see how these phenomena have always been at the heart of practices of valorization of traces of the past. The analysis of a case of virtual reconstitution of an archaeological site will help reveal some of the current trends in this field.

The reflection on the inclusive and widespread use of the cultural heritage, already in place in the last decade, but exacerbated by the health emergency that began in March 2020, has stimulated the proliferation of alternative experiences that make extensive use of ICT. The variety of tools available has generated a multiplicity of technical solutions based however on the essential operation of the digitisation of the heritage, promoted for years by MiBACT and today even more urgent. This contribution aims to illustrate the work in February 2020 within the "Ghibertiana" project for the preparation of the digital contents of the soon-to-be-established "Centro di Interpretazione del Territorio della bassa Valdisieve" ( Interpretation Centre of the Lower Valdisieve Territory ) and "Centro di Documentazione su Lorenzo Ghiberti" (Documentation Centre on Lorenzo Ghiberti) .

The Galileo Museum has been on the digital path for about thirty years in the belief that information technology is an indispensable tool for the scientific research and enhancement of cultural heritage. This essay illustrates some applications that show the state of the art of the initiatives undertaken by this institution in the field of digitization. In particular, we present two thematic digital libraries conceived as environments for research and scientific exchange between scholars, and two virtual exhibitions or, better, digital explorations of historical documents that are difficult to read and interpret.

La ricerca condotta ha indagato il sito di Santa Lucia di Mendola vicino a Siracusa. Il sito e stato scelto perche caratterizzato da “un'assenza”, la basilica normanna, i cui resti architettonici e scultorei decontestualizzati sono solo in parte visibilmente esposti nei musei, altri sono “invisibilmente” custoditi nei magazzini. L'indagine ha comportato una stretta collaborazione interdisciplinare e si basa su studi d'archivio e studi geometrici e formali di prodotti di rilievo. Le operazioni di rilievo sono state condotte con tecniche di alta precisione che hanno fornito uno scenario digitale dell'oggetto culturale. I risultati raggiunti consentono di diffondere virtualmente il patrimonio museale “silenzioso”, di non consegnarlo all'oblio e di realizzare un sistema di tutela della conoscenza e di diffusione culturale.
这项研究调查了锡拉丘兹附近的Santa Lucia di Mendola遗址。之所以选择这个地点,是因为它的特点是“不存在”,诺曼长方形会堂的建筑和雕塑遗迹只在博物馆中部分可见地展示,其他则“无形”地保存在仓库中。该调查涉及密切的跨学科合作,以档案研究以及相关产品的几何和形式研究为基础。相关操作采用了高精度技术,提供了文物的数字场景。所取得的成果使“沉默”的博物馆遗产得以实际传播,而不是被遗忘,并建立了一个保护知识和文化传播的系统。

Focus of this paper are the digital strategies of National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN- Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli). The contribution also testifies links and joint initiatives with other public institutions, such as schools and universities, but also with private companies in gaming and entertainment. In general it emerges a strategy that may result in a new cultural horizon of true autonomy, helping “to regenerate” the city from a cultural, economic and social point of view.
