![]() ![]() In the Fabriano Cathedral, dedicated to St. Venanzio Cathedral in Fabriano, the presence of clear evidence, like the remains of the medieval frescos and various fragments of walls and architectural details allowed to compose a reasonable hypothesis about the original setup of this building. The approach needs procedures and systematic organization of the research/production, while the first will be the source of all the certainty, innovations, deductions moving to the following steps. From such a detailed and sharp base all the remains from the past condition of the building can be used as a base for creating detailed virtual reconstructions, a perfect procedure to open the way to dissemination and sharing with the most various users of complex contents but also a significant occasion for the scholars to verify their theories in specific virtualization of the imagined space “as it was” before any further transformation. The creation of a trustable base is then fundamental and can be well supported by an accurate digital survey. A virtual model based on evidence and deductions is a model building element based on the existing traces and developing a complete, or partial, hypothesis about a previous state. The present technologies allow the development of efficient and fascinating digital models: they can be both a digital representation of the state of fact, like a model resuming all the traces and evidence of a past condition of the building, but they may be also more theoretical, based on the interpretation and interpolation between existing elements, and their matching with specific knowledge and personal ideas/deductions. The creation of a virtual tour inside the past aspect of the architecture needs solid bases and knowledge to be correctly defined. The research for a virtual reconstruction was based on a detailed digital survey of the building. Since its early discovery, this patrimony has received various restorations. This intervention has afflicted all the frescos that were the decoration of those chapels, they were partially deleted by the new masonry works, covered by paint, or walled in the new shape of the church. Venanzio Church (later Cathedral) was subject to a significant transformation of the apse interiors during the XVII century, with the demolition of the original chapels’ asset and their replacement by a larger unitarian space behind the main altar. In Fabriano, in central-eastern Italy, the St. It is the case of a large number of main and secondary architectures, changed according to the mutation of needs and tastes. This interpretation may turn out to be mostly a simplification, while the building is often the result of a large set of interventions in time. When a historical building is seen by a tourist or by an occasional visitor, it appears like a complete and final artefact, showing its main characteristics like a clear example of a style or of an artistic phase. To the restoration activity he combines computer graphics applied to Cultural Heritage: 3D Survey and 3D Modeling, Virtual Restoration and Virtual Reconstruction, Computational Photography and non-invasive diagnostics.Īrchitectures are always subject to transformation in time. Specializing in restoration of paintings on panel and canvas. and Federica Corsiniįederica Corsini is Architect and Restorer of Cultural Heritage.
