Monitoraggio e Manutenzione delle Aree Archeologiche. Cambiamenti climatici, dissesto idrogeologico, degrado chimico ambientale (Atti del Convegno Internazionale di Studi Roma, Curia Iulia, 20-21 marzo 2019), Roma, a cura di Alfonsina Russo, Irma Della Giovampaola, 2020
What is the future for large and complex archaeological areas, which are increasingly vulnerable ... more What is the future for large and complex archaeological areas, which are increasingly vulnerable to natural and anthropic pressures? The answer of the Parco archeologico di Ercolano (the local heritage authority) proposed in this paper was developed in the context of the Herculaneum Conservation Project and sees the systematic strengthening in recent years of site-wide monitoring and maintenance campaigns, a core outcome the long-standing partnership with the Packard Humanities Institute.The methods and processes that have been tested at Herculaneum are extremely innovative, not necessarily from the point of view of the technology or equipment used (which is simple and widely available), but with regards to the precision and wide-spread system of monitoring and maintenance, which will keep the archaeological site ‘under observation’ long into the future.Thanks to the long- term testing and the results obtained, the authors believe that – even without the catalysing effect of the public-private partnership –the methodological and management approaches adopted at Herculaneum can be replicated elsewhere and similar results obtained.

Vignola (MD). The fragile fragments of the architectonic and heraldic colourful
decorations are the latest evidence of a rich ensemble of frescos - now almost
completely lost - that adorned the upper parts of the fortress during the first
decades of the fifteenth century AD.
A multidisciplinary team has worked for ane year to achieve the exact and
complete identification of the ancient drawings and colours of the decorative
frescoes. The interaction between traditional and historical research and new
survey techniques with light-based technologies, such as 3D laser scanning relief
and high resolution photographic campaign of the fragments by UAV drone with
GPS, has allowed a rigorous philological research to recompose the ancient
decorative motifs. Furthermore, a video-mapping lighting projection of the
recomposed decorations recreated the splendid originai aspect of the south-west
façade of the castle.
The adoption of projected light for conservation projects enlarges the legibility and
the interpretation of historical and artistic objects and offers new non-invasive
methods in the restoration of artefacts, with the option to update the data as the
level of knowledge increases. We believe that the combination of traditional and
innovative approaches ensures consistency of method, historical awareness and
new ways of interpreting research results.
