    The 19th-century layout of the Santa Maria del Pianto Cemetery can be seen as evolving from a site already consecrated for burial in preceding centuries, incorporating the ancient church of Santa Maria del Pianto. The present contribution is about this transformation, which took place under the guidance of architects Gaetano Genovese and Daniele de Luca.It brings together unpublished sources dealing with the establishment of the cemetery found in the Municipal Historical Archive in Naples, which in the 1990s took over the entire archive of the Real Stabilimento di Santa Maria Vertecoeli,the institution that had managed the cemetery until the cessation of its institutional activities in 1980

    Il presente contributo analizza l’opera di Michele Ruggiero, figura poliedrica del panorama culturale napoletano ottocentesco, attivo tra la Restaurazione Borbonica e l’Unità d’Italia. Architetto, archeologo e scrittore, Ruggiero seppe coniugare l’attività progettuale con un’intensa produzione saggistica, affrontando tematiche che spaziano dall’architettura alla litografia, dall’archeologia alla conservazione

    Sommario Con l’obiettivo di progettare un sistema di fruizione e di conoscenza digitale volto alla valorizzazione e alla tutela del sistema acquedottistico, in questo lavoro sono presentati i risultati di un’indagine finalizzata all’investigazione del funzionamento degli acquedotti romani e specificatamente delle tracce archeologiche dell’Aqua Augusta Campaniae, fornendo ipotesi di ricostruzione derivanti da valutazioni idrauliche, spaziali e di modellazione tridimensionale, in particolare per la Piscina Mirabilis, terminale di tale sistema acquedottistico e noto per essere il più grande serbatoio a destinazione d’uso prevalente militare d’epoca romana. La scelta di approfondire tale tematica è stata dettata dalla volontà di partecipare alla lettura multidisciplinare che da sempre caratterizza il sito in oggetto, che dal finire del 2019 è stato oggetto di una manifestazione di interesse istituzionale e culturale, in particolare per le tecniche costruttive utilizzate, la composizione architettonica, la complessità strutturale e il funzionamento idraulico cui l’opera era destinata. Abstract In this paper the authors discuss the results from the implementation of a novel operative framework for the digital use and knowledge of archaeological infrastructures. Specifically, evidence is given to the investigation performed to assess the functioning of Roman aqueducts and, in particular, of the traces of the Aqua Augusta Campaniae. The authors provide hypotheses on the hydraulic functioning, based on spatial and threedimensional modelling analyses, with specifi c reference to the Piscina Mirabilis, which is the terminal section of this aqueduct and the largest reservoir for mainly military use in the Roman era. The aim to enhance this topic comes from the willpower to provide a contribution to the multi-disciplinary assessment that is characterizing this site during the last decades, confirmed by the call of institutional and cultural interest on this archaeological site at the end of 2019. Indeed, it has attracted the attention of technicians for the construction techniques employed, the architectural structure, the structural complexity, and the hydraulic functioning which the infrastructure was intended for

    Material modelling for immaterial fruition. The virtual and augmented reality of the Aqua Augusta Campaniae and the Piscina Mirabilis

    Nowadays, the implementation of complementary virtual approaches to the in situ visit of archaeological sites is a preeminent topic in the field of the fruition of cultural heritage, even more today following the pandemic restrictions.The aim of this work is thus to present a comprehensive framework for the fruition and the digital knowledge of the archaeological traces composing the Augustan Aqueduct, the Aqua Augusta Campaniae and its terminal reservoir, the Piscina Mirabilis in Bacoli (Italy). This model aims to be not only informative, but also as both a tool supporting learners and an archive gathering the information collected during the research activities. The traces composing the route of the Augustan Aqueduct are not completely accessible to public visitors, being the Roman infrastructure built almost entirely underground, across tuffaceous banks. Within the framework of this work, specific attention was thus paid to the communication language to be adopted for all the implemented digital tools. The vision was to conceive the framework as a complementary instrument of the physical visit, capable of providing exclusively the information that cannot be learnt directly in situ. The tool was based on the development of an applied game working in a virtual environment, as well as applications running in augmented reality (AR). The instrumental workflow was based on the interface of different commercial software and apps, such as Rhinoceros3D for 3D modelling, Augment for the augmented reality and Unreal Engine for game engines.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.27.2021.18</p
