Abstract

Abstract. Rome has a great cultural heritage, formed by the stratification of styles and political influences from different eras. The different eras and architectural styles that have defined the city in the two millennia of history, make each part unique in its kind. This succession of changes has by necessity led to the denial of some archaeologies that in past ages were pivotal points in the development of the ancient city. The research presented here is intended to analyze and reconstruct the archeology of the river stretch of the Aurelian Walls on the Lungotevere Testaccio partly disappeared from the architectural landscape of the city. The research was set in two main phases, the first based on the two-dimensional study of the lost fabric, focusing on the cartographic study and the digitization of them in the GIS environment. The second one still under development foresees the digitalization of the threedimensional elements detected and the insertion of these within the dedicated platforms.

Highlights

  • The city of Rome appears as a succession of stratifications that have led to the formation of a unique architectural panorama in the world

  • The approach being developed within the research is to assign non-information to three-dimensional elements, but the elements themselves become information added to the twodimensional mapping obtained through the digitization of historical maps

  • The aim is to carry out the digitization of the most important historical cartographies, in order to create a database usable and usable by more than one skill but above all to create a three-dimensional model that can allow navigation within the neighborhoods and in the individual buildings

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The city of Rome appears as a succession of stratifications that have led to the formation of a unique architectural panorama in the world. The different eras and architectural styles that have defined the city in the two millennia of history, make each part unique in its kind This succession of changes has by necessity led to the denial of some archaeologies that in past ages were pivotal points in the development of the ancient city. After the appointment of Rome as the Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, a series of interventions began to make Rome a city designed to accommodate all the functions of a state's capital In this period, we begin to talk about the unfolding of the historical fabric of the city, with the function of public utility or to make room for new places of representation of the new capital of the Kingdom of Italy.
