Nuove tecnologie per conoscere e valorizzare il Patrimonio: “itinerari culturali” nella città di Ascoli Piceno

Abstract

The research investigates the use of innovative technologies for the documentation, analysis, cataloguing of tangible and intangible heritage within the historical urban landscape. The main objective is the implementation of knowledge for safeguarding the Heritage in a perspective of sustainable development based on the understanding and increasingly wide use of the cultural values of a territory. Within this frame, the contribution presents the case study of Ascoli Piceno, characterized by a rich and widespread architectural-cultural heritage, testimony of history and experiences and unique resource of memory. The heritage of Ascoli Piceno has been enhanced through an information management tool in GIS environment, proposing a new digital model to be applied to build thematic layers of knowledge/enhancement of historical-artistic stratifications. The different information levels are organized in a georeferenced database, then structured in itineraries, easily accessible according to the interests of the users. This approach allows to analyze and manage a lot of information, putting in synergy technologies, data and urban space.
