Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article presents two formerly unedited travelaccounts, transcribed from the Swedish manuscripts and translated into English, narrating visits to Herculaneum, the Herculanense Museum and Pompeii, by Georg Fröman, Royal maçon, and Johan Tobias Sergel, sculptor, respectively. The texts are commented and put in historical context. Sergel's thorough accout of the Museum is read in parallel with the one produced by Winckelmann. The article finishes on the impact that the burried cities on early travellers such as these: thrill, freight rather than aesthetic approval.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article treats the experience of Swedish designers, architects and sculptors, who travelled to Pompeii over some 200 years, from the 1760s to the 1920s, and their subsequent appropriation of the Pompeian idiom for creations in Stockholm and surroundings. It puts forth that the kind of premises found appropriate for decorations in Pompeian derivation varied over time, from Royal pleasure houses, sculptors' showrooms to bourgeois homes and apartment houses and, finally, to popular entertainment rooms. It argues that the Pompeian idiom in its Swedish translation was associated early with modernist ideas and later on with socially aware contents.

3D GIS for Cultural Heritage Restoration : a 'white box' workflow

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Structures of Architectural Heritage are constantly exposed to natural and human-made threats that can compromise their cultural and artistic values. This is the case of the Roman city of Pompeii, whose preserving conditions nowadays are so critical to let a group of Unesco-appointed experts consider the possible inscription of the property on the list of “World Heritage in Danger”. In this respect improving the effectiveness of preservation strategies becomes a crucial task. A great contribution in this direction is given by the combination of digital technologies such as Laser Scanning, photogrammetry and computer vision-based techniques and 3D Geographic Information systems (3DGIS), whose integrated use could exponentially increase the effectiveness of conservation strategies of ancient buildings. This paper presents the results of a research developed as part of the Swedish Pompeii Project, a fieldwork initiated from the Swedish Institute in Rome in 2000. Main objectives of this research were (i) to develop a set of integrated digital methods to be extensively adopted by conservation specialists in the practice of preservation management; (ii) to deal with several aspects connected to the preservation of an ancient structure in a ‘fully-3D’ environment; (iii) to take advantage of GIS analytic tools for investigating architectural structures in three-dimensions.

Experiencing Ancient Buildings from a 3D GIS Perspective : a Case Drawn from the Swedish Pompeii Project

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In recent times, archaeological documentation strategies have been considerably improved by the use of advanced 3D acquisition systems. Laser scanning, photogrammetry and computer vision techniques provide archaeologists with new opportunities to investigate and document the archaeological record. In spite of this, the amount of data collected and the geometrical complexity of the models resulting from such acquisition processes, have always prevented their systematic integration into a GIS environment. Recent technological advances occurred in the visualization of 3D contents, led us to overcome the aforementioned limitations and set up a work pipeline in which was possible to put the 3D models not only in the context of data visualization but also in the frame of spatial analysis. The case study described is a part of the Swedish Pompeii Project, a research and fieldwork activity started in 2000 with the purpose of recording and investigating an entire Pompeian city block, Insula V 1. As an additional part of the research, a laser scanning acquisition campaign was conducted in the last few years. The resulting models were thus meant to be used to develop further research lines: among these, a 3D-GIS system was expected to be set up with the purpose to i) collect in the same geo-referenced environment, different typologies of documentation gathered in the context of the Swedish Pompeii Project; ii) inter-connect 3D-models with the project website; iii) use the third-dimension as a further analytical field of investigation, in the form of spatial analysis and cognitive simulation.

Reconstructing the original Splendour of the House of Caecilius Iucundus : a complete methodology for virtual archaeology aimed at digital exhibition
- 2016
-
In: scires. - 2239-4303. ; 6:1, s. 51-66
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper analyses the complete methodology adopted in making the computer graphic movie presetning the House of Caecilius Iucundus, Pompeii. It starts with a discussion on the philological correctness of a reconstruction based on different kind of sources, such as paintings, drawings, technical and literary texts, comparisons etc., and proceeds to explore the use of integrated 3D models (both relity-based and source-based) for improving the visitors experience. The reconstruction of the house was accomplished by means of analysing and developing the theoretical and methodological discussion faced in the last years within the scientific community. In particular, we tested the Extended Matrix (EM), a new tool able to keep track and represent the steps involved in the modelling of the source-based model, and adopted a structure that enables us to keep in consideration the different levels of certainity of our sources.

3D-GIS as a Platform for Visual Analysis : Investigating a Pompeian House
- 2016
-
In: Journal of Archaeological Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 1095-9238 .- 0305-4403. ; 65, s. 103-113
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of the present work is to introduce an innovative framework for employing 3D-GIS as an exploratory platform to perform visual analysis. Such a methodology is aimed at detecting patterns of visibility to simulate the past human perception of specific categories of artifacts placed inside a virtually reconstructed three-dimensional space. As a case study, the house of Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii (regio V, insula 1, entrances 23 and 26) was chosen and two media of visual communication, a painting and a graffito were tested to make an assessment of their visual impact on hypothetical observers. The approach consists of a vector-based line-of-sight (LOS) analysis, now available as an integral component of the 3D-analyst toolkit of the ESRI ArcGIS 10.x software package. This toolkit allowed us to perform the entire process inside a GIS environment, without splitting the tasks among different software platforms. It was thus possible to detect a significant difference in terms of visibility among the observed objects.
