  • Located on the Tirone hill, that divides two streams that have always defined the city of Messina. The Camarro along the southern border of the town, the other the Portalegni stream, which runs through the center of the urban core. Referred to by Polybius as “Mons Calcidus”, it retains its name in the work of 1658 by Placido Reina, who referring to the same name, specifies where today the Gonzaga Fortress is. Under the hill, on the occasion of the excavations of the railway, the finds of the ancient Greek acropolis of the city were found. The basic question is that although it is a majestic work of the city, which dominates the Strait of Messina, it is unknown to many. The modest policy of the institutions in charge as well as the tortuous and narrow road path within a densified urban fabric, such as that of Monte Piselli, have represented obstacles partially filled by the admirable work of an ONLUS that attempts to spread its image and culture in the territory, with excellent results. In this paper we give the first hints of the studies undertaken to study the geometric conformation following a survey by laser scanner, but also to create three-dimensional models aimed at creating virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR). The work is also inspired by the dissemination of the 3DLab Sicily project funded by the Region.
