Nuove metodologie per il recupero degli immobili storici in stato di degrado

The objectives of the ArTeSalVa project (Architecture, Technology, Safeguarding and Enhancement of historic buildings) - financed by the Tuscany Region with European POR FSE funds - are the study and the definition of new methodologies for the knowledge and enhancement of huge historic public and private buildings located in Tuscany, and which are currently in a state of decay or are underused. ArTeSalVa has been created by the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (LARTTE) and the National Research Council CNR-ISTI (Visual Computing Lab), in collaboration with La Sterpaia founded by Oliviero Toscani and the IT company NoveOPiu, owned by Enrico Possenti. The project concerns a historical study of deteriorated monuments, the use of computer graphics, and 2D and 3D media for the navigation and reconstruction of these buildings, and the development of strategies for improving their enhancement and publicity. The maintenance and development of historic and artistic heritage, especially of public property, are important and current topics that include the re-discovery of identity factors and the responsibility of appropriate restorations. Actually the project aims at studying the less known historical events regarding the Medici Villa located in Montelupo Fiorentino (near Florence, the Carthusian Monastery located in Calci (near Pisa, the Badia Camaldolese located in Volterra (near Pisa)and the fortress of Verrucole located in Garfagnana (near Lucca).
