Abstract
Today, Geomatics science can provide modern techniques of acquisition, visualization, measurement and data management, useful for preservation, documentation and analysis of Cultural Heritage, in all its variety. Very interesting is the case for which both the project documentation of an object and the object itself are Cultural Heritage. A perfect example is the big Arc of entrance to the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery of Milan (Italy), by Giuseppe Mengoni (1877), whose project documents are today kept at the “Museum-Archive Giuseppe Mengoni” of Fontanelice (province of Bologna). Exploiting this case, in the present study it was tested the utilization of geomatic techniques – photogrammetry and GIS (Geographic Information System) technology in particular – for archive documentation, developing an innovative tool able to allow intuitive and immediate searches among the archive documents (once made measurable) and the catalogue records, and let an innovative reading of the big Arc, in each step of its project development.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
