From Digitization to Virtual Exhibition of the University of Bologna's ''Collezioni di Antropologia''
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Collina, Federica; Sorrentino, Rita; Malavasi, Maria Chiara; Iannucci, Alessandro; Belcastro, Maria Giovanna; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
This ongoing project addresses to create a virtual exhibition of the University of Bologna's ''Collezioni di Antropologia''. Due to the challenges in managing the collection and the high preservation risks, the aim is to create a new virtual, appealing and communicative collection setup. The virtual tour will be divided into three significant blocks representing the different sections of the exposed collections in the museum: paleoanthropology and prehistory, skeletal biology, and the origin of biological anthropology in Italy. Selected representative elements of the collection will be digitized using 3D structured light scanners, post-processed and optimized for online enjoyment. Finally, a virtual exhibition space will be modeled to display these elements and help provide a proper understanding of the collections and their virtual exhibition. The online experience, enriched with accessible information and interactive tools, would provide a new and appealing key to increasing public engagement, bringing scientific knowledge to wider audiences, and fostering a deeper public understanding of human history.

The Hidden Legacy. Byzantine Seals of the Exarchal Age in Italian Museum Collections: a Digital Approach with SigiDoc.
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Pomero, Margherita Elena; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
Byzantine sigillography is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines seals once affixed to official documents within the Eastern Roman Empire and its provinces, including Italy during the so-called Exarchal period (584-751 AD). These objects offer valuable insights into various aspects of Late Antique and Medieval Mediterranean history and culture, including language (Greek and Latin), palaeography, administrative history, onomastics and prosopography, religious history, and iconography. Most scholarly editions of Byzantine seals remain in print format, often scattered into journals and miscellaneous volumes, while editions of comprehensive corpora are still limited. This project aims to conduct a systematic study and compilation of the Byzantine sigillographic heritage from the late sixth to the first half of the eighth century, focusing on material discovered in Italy or preserved in Italian museum collections. A key objective is the digitization of these objects, accompanied by the creation of metadata in accordance with the SigiDoc standard for Byzantine seals. Developed over the past decade by researchers in Paris and Cologne, SigiDoc is poised to play a crucial role in enhancing the accessibility and analysis of this rich cultural heritage. By employing SigiDoc, the project aligns with the principles of accessibility, interoperability, and reusability as defined by Digital Humanities (DH) standards. This research is supported by the CHANGES partnership, which seeks to "Cultivate Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Next-Generation Sustainable Society.
App AskGate - Four Steps in Ascalon
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Luschi, Cecilia Maria Roberta; Vezzi, Alessandra; Niccolai, Federico; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
The development of the app called AskGate originated from the results obtained by the Italian Archaeological Mission MAECI (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation). The research group, consisting of architects, archaeologists, physicists and artists since 2020, has been working on the case study of the so-called church of Santa Maria in Viridis, within the ancient city of Ascalona (Israel) under the direction of Prof. C. M. R. Luschi. The main challenge was to find a language capable of expressing the process of scientific research which would involve the user. The theme of the representation adopted for the app entrusts the narrative in its significant parts to the eloquence of the image, respecting the gestalt linked to the use of the smartphone.

High-quality photography is essential in cultural heritage but is often associated with expensive equipment, which remains out of reach for many institutions. To address this gap, we present MosArt: a low-cost, modular system for high-resolution, automated photography of 2D and 2.5D objects. Combining open-source hardware and software, MosArt supports calibration, tiled acquisition, and focus stacking. This paper provides an overview of the system architecture and software components, and illustrates their application through selected case studies.
Integrated survey for heritage digitisation. The case study of Venaria Reale within HERITALISE project
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Martino, Alessio; Tanduo, Beatrice; Borgogno, Edward; Chiabrando, Filiberto; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
The documentation and digitization of Cultural Heritage (CH) assets are fundamental for their conservation, monitoring, and long-term accessibility. HERITALISE is a research project aimed at developing a cloud-based, interoperable ecosystem aligned with the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), enabling the structured acquisition, management, and sharing of heterogeneous CH data. The project, currently at its earliest stage, applies advanced geomatics techniques - including Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), SLAM-based mobile mapping, and UAV photogrammetry - in a multiscale framework for the 3D digitization of the UNESCO site Reggia di Venaria Reale (Italy). Particular focus is given to the Great Gallery and the St. Uberto Church, where high-resolution metric data are integrated with environmental and microclimatic monitoring, material analyses, and historical documentation to support diagnostics, maintenance, and interpretation. The approach extends to landscape heritage and movable assets, such as the Gardens of Fluid Sculptures and 18th-century wooden furniture, combining 3D documentation, tomography, and digital fabrication. HERITALISE proposes a scientific methodology for bridging traditional and digital CH practices, fostering sustainable and interdisciplinary preservation strategies.
The Intermedit project: democratizing the access to Cultural Heritage of Antiquity through digital technologies
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Campos, Oriol Vicente; Bogdanovic, Igor; Bofill, Maria; Santos, Marta; Izac, Lionel; Costa, Benjamí; Fernández, Jordi H.; Hernández, Elisa; Izac, Sophie; Jiménez, Helena; Mezquida, Ana; Tremoleda, Joaquim; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
The InterMedit project: Mediterranean Exchange in Antiquity, a bridge between cultures, was born with the aim of creating a space of confluence to highlight the origin of the millenary connection maintained by three regions of the western Mediterranean (the Balearic Islands, the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, and the south of France) through their archaeological heritage from Antiquity. Initially, the idea was to generate a simultaneous exhibition in the three museums through the digitization and creation of 3D printed replicas. With the outbreak of the COVID pandemic in early 2020, the project had to be reoriented and redesigned in a virtual environment to create the immersive virtual exhibition. Finally, in 2024, the project carried out the simultaneous exhibition with replicas of the most outstanding pieces and access to the immersive exhibition of the InterMedit project. This project has made it possible to innovate in the creation of museographic content as a way of integrating a greater diversity of audiences, democratizing access to heritage, enhancing its value, and raising public awareness of the importance of archaeological heritage as a link between territories and cultures.
Multisensor 3D Documentation of the Palaeolithic Complex of the Railway Trench (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Martínez-Fernández, Adrián; Benito-Calvo, Alfonso; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
We present the first comprehensive, high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) documentation of the Railway Trench at the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) -one of Europe's most important palaeoarchaeological complexes- by integrating multisensor geomatic techniques. Although Atapuerca's rich fossil and lithic record has been studied since the late 1970s, detailed spatial data have remained limited to excavations. To overcome this, our study deploys a unified geospatial framework combining GNSS-RTK and total station surveying to support the application of Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles photogrammetry within the 550 m-long trench and its immediate surroundings (50 ha). By delivering an unprecedentedly detailed and accurate digital twin (sub-decimetre resolution) of the palaeolithic context, digitalisation aims to enhance conservation, monitoring, virtual dissemination and future excavation planning. The results shown here demonstrate the potential of integrated multisensor workflows in Palaeolithic archaeology and are intended to safeguard and interpret the complex landscape of the Sierra de Atapuerca in future studies.
