A 3D-based information system to manage conservation and "lifecycle" of the Neptune Fountain in Bologna

We describe the Information System developed for the management of the "life cycle" of the Neptune Fountain in Bologna. This system adopts the 3D digital model as main interface for collecting, recording, archiving and retrieving data related to the monument. The paper describes the system features and reports some early evaluations and feedback received from the operators who used it during the ongoing restoration.
