Atlas of Soknopaiou Nesos: project of knowledge and digital preservation The article concerns the topography research project of the city of Soknopaiou Nesos in Fayyum. In particular, the goal of the project is the realization of a digital knowledge and conservation plan of the entire archaeological site using innovative digital survey techniques and then the creation of a topographic atlas necessary for the realization of a ceramic intrasite survey of the site.

This contribution deals with virtual restoration of pictorial
and mosaic surfaces, through some study cases, from Pompeii
to Egypt, from Sicily to Apulia and Basilicata, representative
of specific problems: relief intended as a tool for knowledge,
monitoring and digital conservation; the representation of surfaces;
degradation mappings; the treatment of gaps, between
monochrome retouching, total retouching (or mimetic), and
chromatic lowering. An overview of the possibilities of Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the study
of ancient painting was followed by the proposal of method
lines for the digital reconstruction of paintings and mosaics,
consistent with the principles of “real” restoration on which the
virtual one is based.

One of the main activities of MAIER - Italian Archaeological Mission at Hierapolis - has been the development of a research line aimed at the virtual restoration
and the three-dimensional restitution of ancient buildings in the roman city of Hierapolis of Phrygia, in Turkey. The project, named "Virtual Hierapolis," has
gradually articulated in the last three seasons of excavation (years 2007-2009) and developed from early experiences of Virtual Reality conducted on the same site
during previous years. The research, coordinated by the Director of the italian mission, prof. F. D'Andria, and conducted within the Information Technologies Lab
(ITLab) of the IBAM-CNR in Lecce, involves heterogeneous research units engaged in field work, restoration and interpretation of data.

Introduzione
La narrazione digitale trasforma la tradizionale rappresentazione  dei contesti archeologici mettendo in evidenza l’interazione  fra architetture ricostruite e ambiente circostante. La narrazione storica mediata dalla realtà virtuale della città si apre a nuove occasioni di riflessione sulla forma e i materiali del progetto architettonico e urbanistico dell’insediamento, monumentalizzato in età augustea. Il repertorio delle architetture dell’insediamento romano è pressoché completo, il foro, la basilica, l’area sacra con il capitolium, il teatro, le terme, l’anfiteatro.
Protagonisti in assoluto sono i colori dei marmi decorativi di Augusta Bagiennorum, oggetto di studio degli autori in collaborazione con il Politecnico di Torino.
Grazie all’uso di texture di altissima definizione, ricavate dai materiali originali conservati nel museo archeologico di Bene Vagienna, è stato possibile ottenere un elevato livello di realismo degli edifici. Lo stile della decorazione architettonica attentamente ricavato dai reperti rinvenuti dagli scavi ne qualifica la cronologia tra I e II sec.
