12th ICA Conference on Digital Approaches to Cartographic Heritage, 26-28 April 2017, Venice, Italy, 2017

Moreover, the multidisciplinary approach based on different disciplines of knowledge (history, cartography, computer graphics and sciences) enabled the development of new digital tools for the preservation of and access to the cultural heritage.
During the last year, the Cartography and GIS Lab of the Iuav University of Venice has been involved in the development of an exhibition entitled "Venice, the Jews and Europe (1516-2016)", designed by the VISU research’s group with the collaboration of the MuVe Foundation and the Jewish Community of Venice, to be hosted at the Ducal Palace of Venice. The project offered the opportunity to study the history of the Venetian Jewish Community in a new perspective: cartography was used as a fundamental tool for analysing the urban transformation of the Venetian Ghetto over time.
The present paper introduces some of the case studies displayed in the Ducal Palace exhibition. Working with heterogeneous data from different sources and epochs required an information management tool with the ability to relate data together. Since the beginning of the research, a Geographical Information System (GIS) was employed in order to manage metrical and geographical data in their evolutions in space and time.
Thanks to this procedure, it was possible to analyse different historical phases of the Venetian Ghetto and to study the volumetric development with the 3D reconstruction of digital urban models.
Moreover, the project offered the opportunity to test different means of communication: multimedia and interactive installations were planned in order to disseminate knowledge to the general public. In particular, video animations and 3D mapping on a prototyped model allowed to dynamically describing the history and
the urban transformation of the Venetian Ghetto.
