La guerra di Leonardo. Disegni vinciani di architettura militare
Full text linkThe Code B of Leonardo da Vinci, presents designs related to military, religious and civil architecture. A careful study of the signs allows to build digital models congruent to the representation and thus to unveil the Leonardo's design thinking. The application of a methodology aimed at producing diplomatic and interpretative edition of the papers, appears to be very useful in making the graphic heritage of Leonardo more accessible and to enhance the design and spatial aspects of his architectural thoughts. Some of the most interesting architectural drawings by Leonardo da Vinci are kept in so-called Code B at the Institut de France. They likely date back to the period when Leonardo was at the court of Ludovico il Moro in Milan (1482-1499), most properly to the years between 1487 and 1490 Specific studies on the architectural contributions in Leonardo's papers were addressed especially after the war, by Firpo (1963), Pedretti (1978) and Galluzzi (1987; 1996). Similarly, proportional assumptions and both twodimensional and three-dimensional reconstructions from the architectural drawings in the Codex B have already
been attempted both in a systematic way, by authors such as Carpiceci (1978), and Guillaume De Jonge (1988), and occasionally by Frommel (2006) or Di Teodoro (2015), generally with traditional graphical methods. In this work, I used an original methodology for the analysis of Leonardo's papers. This is an integrated process that goes from the careful analysis of the graphical "signs" to assisted drafting and infographic techniques, and whose objective is the production of a diplomatic and interpretative edition of what is present on the sheets. In addition to viewing the original, the first level of decoding and understanding of Leonardo's design is what in philology is called "diplomatic edition". Borrowing the concept from philology, the diplomatic edition of Leonardo's papers allows first, to reveal the graphic textures visible on the sheet: it starts from a rewriting of the texts using a special character akin to that Leonardo, inspired to the Cancellaresca font by Ludovico Vicentino, the mirroring of the texts and a more adequate spacing between words. The text is fully preserved, without making changes to acronyms, initials, or regrets. The next step is the interpretative edition which unlike the critical interpretation, bases strictly on the exclusive contribution of the "witnesses" in the document. Applying this concept to architectural designs resulted in their three-dimensional reconstruction by means of digital solid modeling, in order to obtain the views comparable with the original sketches. The construction of these models involves the formation of a chain of hypotheses that depart from the redrawing of the plan in a geometrically structured and regular shape to attain to the volume evoked by the sketch with as less "exogenous interferences" as possible. Occasionally, the scarcity or ambiguity of the information assumable from the scheme made it necessary to decline the methodology from a purely interpretative edition to an architectural critical edition, taking into account the contribution of "indirect witnesses" firstly in other Leonardo’s drawings related to the design concept in question for chronologic and graphology issues

L’area archeologica della casinum romana. Le ragioni di un percorso di studio e conoscenza tra contesto urbano ed archeologico
No full textIl contributo si incentra sui resti della città romana di Casinum, nel Lazio meridionale, del cui passato rimane una significativa area archeologica. Il complesso, nonostante l’interesse dei suoi monumenti, a tutt’oggi è privo di un rilievo strutturato che analizzi l’ambito nella sua totalità, integrando le singole emergenze con il contesto. L’approccio metodologico del lavoro sviluppa e approfondisce l’analisi e la conoscenza di alcuni monumenti mediante un rilevamento integrato dei luoghi, con l’obiettivo di valorizzare un paesaggio complesso, tra contesto urbano ed archeologico.The contribution focuses on the ruins of the Roman town of Casinum, in southern Lazio, of whose past remains a significant archaeological area. The Archaeological Complex, despite the interest of its monuments, still lacks a structured survey that analizes the area as a whole, integrating individual emergencies with the context. The methodological approach of the work will develop and deepen the analysis and the knowledge of some monuments through an integrated survay of the site, with the aim of enhancing a complex landscape, between an urban and archaeological context

Aerial Digital Photogrammetry and Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Reconstruction Hypothesis of Monumental Building Lost Façades: The Case of Villa Mondragone
No full textThe analysis of an architecture characterized by geometrical, functional and historical complexity, requires the fundamental and crucial acquisition of metrics data, iconographic e and archival documents, followed by a correct comparison and interpretation of the collected information. The scope of this process is to give a precise critical interpretation of the building - or some of its specific areas - as close as possible to reality and such as to allow a reliable reconstruction of those aspects of it that got possibly lost over time. In the specific case, this approach wants to offer a vital support to the study of those aspects of the monumental architec-ture that have been heavily altered by inappropriate interventions. In this paper, the methodological process is relating to a quite large number of interventions on Villa Mondragone in Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), the largest among the princely houses of the Tuscolan Complex. The task, here, is to get an accurate reconstruc-tion of the facades facing towards the so called Piazzale Maggiore, a large inner courtyard of the vast com-plex and it will focus in particularly on the latest large process of transformation, started nearly a century ago. For this reason, we based our study on bibliographical sources, on recent years’ historical data researches and on the analysis of the ample iconographic documentation, as well as on surveys of the state of fact by using different techniques. A considerable support to the research came from the use of the new survey technolo-gies, which the main object of this article. These technologies have been managed in an integrated manner on the areas of interest. They have helped to obtain considerably accurate surveys and such as to guarantee a highdegree of reliability to the reconstructive hypotheses subsequently processed. On one hand, the survey has relied on the capabilities of the laser-scanner, and of the other hand on the aerial photogrammetry with operations done with different types of UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) and digital cameras. A series of differ-ent reasons required the use of various tools for indirect survey, as shown in the text. The most important one is due to the relevant dimensional characteristics of the building and the surrounding context. This work is part of a broader line of research on the Ville Tuscolane and here it mainly refers to the applications of the most advanced systems for surveying and modeling of monumental architecture of historical interest. It has provid-ed interesting food for thought and technological and methodological comparison on the theme of philologi-cal reconstruction of the lost internal fronts of Piazzale Maggiore of Villa Mondragone. This was possible thanks to some similar elements on the facade facing the outside of the Manica Lunga (the longest eastern side of of the building enclosing the court) emerged during the surveys of this front
