Resumen de Le mura di Pavia: sistemi digitali di modellazione virtuale per la valorizzazione urbana dei resti delle cinte fortificate
Sandro Parrinello, Raffaella De Marco
The city of Pavia, longbard capital, is characterized between its historical and artistic values also in the identity of fortified city. The presence of a military wall system originates from the Roman foundation, evolving through the Middle Ages and the Spanish domination with the development of three different circles around the historic center, background of central political events in Italian history in Europe. Through its morphological, stylistic and monumental features, the city wall and gates have influenced urban development and civil and religious heritage, developing a deep system of interaction between city, population and history that has left a marked sign both in the architectural form and in local cultural traditional systems. The implementation of Post-War Regulatory Plans has led to expansion policies careless of the fortified historical identity of the city, sacrificing military memory in terms of expansion and infrastructural actions and leaving to destruction the remaining ruins. In the context of enhancement of Pavia "historical city" identity, the cultural promotion goes through proposals for digital investigation and 3D Structure from Motion documentation of ancient urban walls, with morphological and architectural systems of analysis integrated to historical research, identifying protocols of Virtualization towards possible restoration, urban recovery and cultural enhancement actions.
