Una nuova tomba dell'Orientalizzante recente a Tivoli nel quadro dei rapporti tra Valle dell'Aniene e contigue comunità italiche
No full textDuring recent demolition work of a residential building in the centre of Tivoli (ancient Tibur), a rectangular tomb cut into the local tufa bedrock was found at a depth of 3.20 m. below the present street level. Oriented E-W, it contained the poorly preserved bones of the deceased (a woman) and a complete set of grave offerings dating to the last decades of the 7th century B.C. The area had previously been associated with human (funerary) occupation between the late Bronze and early Iron Age, as the presence of pozzetti and impasto sherds reveals.
The grave context confirms the existence of a local Orientalizing phase strongly connected with the Falisco-Capenan and Sabine regions, the territory of Gabii and the Alban Hills
Virtual anastylosis applied to the architectural decoration of mixtilinear buildings in Villa Adriana: the case study of the scattered friezes of the Teatro Marittimo
No full textThe peculiar figurative friezes of the buildings with mixtilinear entablature have always fascinated collectors of antiquities since the Renaissance, determining their scattering in private collections and museums throughout Europe. Thanks to the application of digital surveying and reverse modelling techniques, increasingly adopted during the last years for the documentation and enhancement of Cultural Heritage, it has been possible to outline a specific methodology for the restoration works that concern the virtual anastylosis of the architectural order and the correct repositioning of the friezes, also not physically present on site. The master model, which shows the conditions of the Teatro Marittimo before the last restoration works (2017), is the result of several survey campaigns, carried out over the course of the last years, in collaboration with the Direction of the Villa. This model has become the basis for the hypothetical order reconstruction and the repositioning of the friezes, by considering their geometrical, morphological, stylistic, constructive, and figurative features. The ongoing research is in constant update, and it aims at providing methodological directions for virtual anastylosis and scientific tools, also preparatory to a real restoration work, starting from such a unique and delicate site as Villa Adriana

No full textReverse designing: an integrated method for interpreting ancient architecture
No full textResearch on architectural archaeology conducted by archaeologists, architects, engineers – and more recently by computer scientists – is characterized by different goals and methodologies. Only sometimes does this result in profitable contributions. Instead, attitudes very often remain deeply rooted in single-discipline vision unable to communicate or interact with each other in the best interest of the subject of the research in question. In this paper, by means of a series of case studies, we intend to outline the principles of “reverse designing,” that is the integrated set of methods and skills enabling the retracings of the steps taken by the ancient builder

GUIDELINES FOR A DIGITAL REINTERPRETATION OF ARCHITECTURAL RESTORATION WORK: REALITY-BASED MODELS AND REVERSE MODELLING TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DECORATION OF THE <i>TEATRO MARITTIMO, VILLA ADRIANA</i>
Full text linkThe Maritime Theatre is one of the iconic buildings of Hadrian’s Villa, Tivoli. The state of conservation of the theatre is not only the
result of weathering over time, but also due to restoration work carried out during the Fifties of the past century. Although this
anastylosis process had the virtue of partially restoring a few of the fragments of the compound’s original image, it now reveals
diverse inconsistencies and genuine errors in the reassembling of the fragments. This study aims at carrying out a digital
reinterpretation of the restoration of the architectural fragments in relation to the architectural order, with particular reference to the
miscellaneous decoration of the frieze of the Teatro Marittimo (vestibule and atrium).
Over the course of the last few years the Teatro Marittimo has been the target of numerous surveying campaigns using digital
methodology (laser scanner and photogrammetry SfM/MVS). Starting with the study of the remains of the opus caementicium on the
ground, it is possible to identify surfaces which are then used in the model for subsequent cross sections, so as to achieve the best
fitting circumferences to use as reference points to put the fragments back into place
La decorazione architettonica di piazza d’oro. Il ciclo figurativo
No full textHadrian’s mansion in Tivoli, famous during antiquity and investigated and studied since
the Renaissance, is still not sufficiently known. The main reason is due to the focus of those researches:
despite their dissemination over time, they were centred on a variety of aspects or, at the contrary,
aimed at solving specific topics of individual buildings. This is especially true with regard to the architectural
and sculptural decoration, given the huge dispersion of these elements originally belonging to
the Villa and undergone to systematic and constant despoliation over the centuries. The analysis of
existing documentation of Piazza d’Oro - ranging from antique sources, to the still preserved friezes
and decorative elements inside the Villa, and/or stored inside museums and Italian and foreign
collections - has disclosed new interpretation proposals of mixtilinear architectures. Digital acquisition
technologies played a crucial role for the interpretation of those complex shapes characterizing
great part of the Imperial Villa, as well as 3D digital modelling, very useful to exhibit new and more
accurate location proposals of figurative patterns that adorned those sumptuous buildings. Ongoing
research has also allowed to reassign, within the frame of Piazza d’Oro, some marble elements of the
architectural decoration, traditionally attributed to the southern pavilion, to other parts of the same
building
