The structural analysis of an historic building requires the development of an interconnected series of operations aimed at obtaining a satisfactory knowledge of the building, where usually in-situ investigations are performed together with advanced computational analyses. In this process, the geometric and topographic survey plays a pivotal role and therefore the possibility to rapidly acquire large amounts of spatial data (and to geo-reference any kind of information) allows to provide effective geometric and monitoring data that can be subsequently employed for structural analyses. In this respect, the interchange between Geo-informatics and Engineering sciences can be considered a challenging issue in the field of conservation/preservation of cultural heritage (CH). On the one hand, in fact, the accuracy of measured data directly affects decision-making and analysis process. On the other hand, the merging of digital documentation technologies with innovative computational techniques supports the creation of an inter/trans-disciplinary cooperation model towards sustainable preservation of CH. These issues are herein addressed through the discussion of an emblematic case study: the Cupola of the Basilica dell’Umilta in Pistoia (Italy) designed and realized by Giorgio Vasari in the middle of the sixteenth century.

Furthermore, the use of surface models, CAD drawings, and orthophotos, guarantees complete and accurate documentation, thus allowing for a better understanding of the environment, the anthropic structures, and their relationships. All the georeferenced surveys’ outputs are especially advisable within a prespective of periodical monitoring, as forseen by national legislation. The work is aimed to study two adjacent bridges over the Arno River in Lastra a Signa, Italy. One of the bridges, Ponte nuovo sull’Arno, is an overpass for motor vehicles. The other one, which is called Passarella sull’Arno, is a pedestrian viaduct. A topographic reference network has been settled using the GNSS survey technique. 3D point clouds of the bridges have been acquired by performing a Laser Scanning survey. A bathymetric survey has been car...

The case study is a three-story masonry building that was the house of the Renaissance architect and painter Giorgio Vasari (the Vasari’s House museum). An interdisciplinary approach was adopted, following the Italian “Guidelines for the assessment and mitigation of the seismic risk of the cultural heritage”. This document proposes a methodology of investigation and analysis based on three evaluation levels (EL1, analysis at territorial level; EL2, local analysis and EL3, global analysis), according to an increasing level of knowledge on the building. A comprehensive knowledge process, composed by a 3D survey by Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and experimental in situ tests, allowed us to identify the basic structural geometry and to assess the value of mechanical parameters subsequently needed to perform a reliable structural assessment. The museum rep...

In a case study regarding art history, these techniques made it possible to recreate the layout of the Sala di Saturno in Pitti Palace (Florence) in the 17th century, based on information obtained from archive documents on the tapestries designed for that hall and a 3D model expressly elaborated with geomatic techniques. The results were summarised in a video showed in 2019 during the exhibition on tapestries dedicated to Cosimo I de' Medici. A tool was also developed to assist exhibition and museum curators in their work. Through virtual reality, they can design temporary exhibitions or modify the display of the works of art in a museum in a realistic way, using visually and metrically accurate models of the pieces and exhibition...

Geomatics research group of DiCR Geomatics research group of DiCR – Department of Costruction and Restoration of University of Florence, held a Postgraduate Course in “Geomatics for Cultural Heritage Conservation” that ran from January to April 2010. Course contents was: Measure and Architecture, 3D Scanning Systems, Laser Scanning and 3D Modelling, Digital Close Range Photogrammetry, Termography and Metric Survey at Urban Scale and Digital Cartography. In addition to lectures, there was laboratories on data acquisition, evaluation and processing. Final workshop took place in Villa Demidoff at Pratolino, with regard of cooperation agreement between DiCR...

This has led to the creation of a "museum of museums" which responds to the need to offer a display system that can be "visited" by a broad and variegated public. The arrangement of the book itself reflects the true nature of the MUSINT project and its character as a research worksite, enhanced by past experience, and a bridge for the appreciation of new perspectives within a scientific, technological and cultural universe that is open and in continual movement.

Hence, this grotto represents only the visible part of a mechanism running all around it. It is formed by a single chamber vaulted and covered with sponge-like stones, as well as decorations made of pebbles and shells. The space is divided into three wings, with big marble basins at their end. Over them there are reliefs of animals made of different stones and marbles. Animals recur also in the compositions of fish and shellfish decorating the side basins and in the bronze birds currently kept in the Museo del Bargello. <br&g...
