This contribution deals with virtual restoration of pictorial and mosaic surfaces, through some study cases, from Pompeii to Egypt, from Sicily to Apulia and Basilicata, representative of specific problems: relief intended as a tool for knowledge, monitoring and digital conservation; the representation of surfaces; degradation mappings; the treatment of gaps, between monochrome retouching, total retouching (or mimetic), and chromatic lowering. An overview of the possibilities of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the study of ancient painting was followed by the proposal of method lines for the digital reconstruction of paintings and mosaics, consistent with the principles of “real” restoration on which the virtual one is based.

Abstract
This contribution deals with virtual restoration of pictorial and mosaic surfaces, through some study cases, from Pompeii to Egypt, from Sicily to Apulia and Basilicata, representative of specific problems: relief intended as a tool for knowledge, monitoring and digital conservation; the representation of surfaces; degradation mappings; the treatment of gaps, between monochrome retouching, total retouching (or mimetic), and chromatic lowering. An overview of the possibilities of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the study of ancient painting was followed by the proposal of method lines for the digital reconstruction of paintings and mosaics, consistent with the principles of “real” restoration on which the virtual one is based.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
