  • Between the mid-13th and late 14th centuries the Scaliger lordship ruled a vast territory in which Verona wasthe main center. The Scaliger period is reflected in the extraordinary architecture and military constructions,castles and palaces that define the territory and are today important tourist sites. To initiate a digitalcultural route to link and promote these architectural evidences, the Tourism Department, the Chamber ofCommerce and the UNESCO Office of the Municipality of Verona, involved the laboratory DAda-LAB ofthe University of Pavia. The aim of the project was to design a new educational/informative digital routeon the castles around the region. The present paper illustrates some outcomes of the research conducted onthe Montorio Castle: the goal was testing a strategy of fast acquisition in order to obtain a digital database.The output of the acquisition phase was define as a reliable base to structure realistic 3D models of the mainhistorical phases that affected the Castle. In this way, fast survey actions followed by the elaboration of 3Dmodels by videogrammetry techniques, were also supplemented with the analysis of archival documents,archaeological reports and historical cartography. From the obtained photogrammetric database, it was thenpossible through the philological process to elaborate 3D models of the main hypothetical developmentsof the castle. This paper illustrates the strategy adopted in the case study and provides the groundwork forits replicability on other Scaliger castles, in order to define graphic and communicative methods for thedigital products.
