La dimensione fisica e quella digitale stanno sempre più fondendosi tra loro nell’epoca contemporanea, la quale è contrassegnata da un’integrazione costante e continua, che sta trasformando il rapporto tra società e patrimonio culturale. I limiti della fruizione culturale stanno modificandosi di fronte all’avanzare dello sviluppo tecnologico, aprendo le porte ad un’epoca in cui l’accessibilità e la comprensione del patrimonio storico-artistico assumono forme innovative e sempre più inclusive. Non si tratta esclusivamente di un mero processo di digitalizzazione di manufatti, monumenti o edifici al solo scopo di realizzare un archivio digitale, ma di un nuovo modo in cui le persone possono interagire con la memoria storica e la cultura dei luoghi. Le tecnologie immersive nel settore dei beni culturali stanno rivoluzionando l’approccio percettivo ed esperienziale del patrimonio architettonico, ridefinendo il concetto di visita culturale, permettendo ai fruitori di immergersi all’interno di una dimensione multisensoriale ed interattiva, superando i vincoli spazio-temporali. Vengono infatti sviluppate nuove modalità di visualizzazione e generati nuovi ambienti virtuali dinamici che facilitano la comprensione storica e valorizzano i caratteri culturali di un determinato bene attraverso narrative digitali coinvolgenti e personalizzabili. L’assimilazione di queste metodologie innovative all’interno della pratica del restauro e della valorizzazione architettonica genera nuovi paradigmi di intervento, dove la tecnologia diviene strumento sia di conoscenza che di inclusione sociale. Non vi è più un utilizzo del processo di digitalizzazione a soli fini documentali, ma diviene mezzo di democratizzazione dell’accesso al patrimonio culturale. Il caso studio proposto di riqualificazione dei resti del castello di Civitella in Val di Chiana si prefigge l’obiettivo di fungere da esempio applicativo di tali principi. Applicando il processo scan-to-BIM, dal rilievo fisico alla restituzione di un modello digitale tridimensionale fedele all’originale, il progetto si sviluppa con duplice valenza: fornire una base informativa dettagliata per l’intervento di restauro e consentire la fruizione completa degli spazi fisicamente irraggiungibili per coloro i quali possiedono difficoltà motorie. La democratizzazione della cultura diviene quindi il punto di forza aggiunto di queste tecnologie avanzate, poste al servizio dunque della persona e non finalizzate al solo scopo scientifico.

Abstract
The physical and digital dimensions are increasingly merging in the contemporary era, which is marked by constant and continuous integration that is transforming the relationship between society and cultural heritage. The limits of cultural enjoyment are changing with the advance of technological development, opening the doors to an era in which the accessibility and understanding of historical and artistic heritage take on innovative and increasingly inclusive forms. This is not merely a process of digitizing artifacts, monuments, or buildings solely for the purpose of creating a digital archive, but a new way in which people can interact with historical memory and the culture of places. Immersive technologies in the cultural heritage sector are revolutionizing the perceptual and experiential approach to architectural heritage, redefining the concept of a cultural visit. They allow users to immerse themselves in a multisensory and interactive dimension, overcoming spatio-temporal constraints. New visualization methods are being developed, and new dynamic virtual environments are being generated that facilitate historical understanding and enhance the cultural characteristics of a given asset through engaging and customizable digital narratives. The assimilation of these innovative methodologies into the practice of architectural restoration and enhancement generates new paradigms of intervention, where technology becomes a tool for both knowledge and social inclusion. The digitalization process is no longer used solely for documentary purposes but becomes a means of democratizing access to cultural heritage. The proposed case study of the redevelopment of the remains of the Civitella in Val di Chiana castle aims to serve as an application example of these principles. By applying the scan-to-BIM process, from physical survey to the restitution of a faithful three-dimensional digital model of the original, the project develops with a dual purpose: to provide a detailed informational basis for restoration work and to allow full enjoyment of physically inaccessible spaces for those with motor difficulties. The democratization of culture thus becomes the added strength of these advanced technologies, placed at the service of people and not solely for scientific purposes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
