“…At present the research in the field is wide-ranging and there exists a varied range of new generation web-platforms for CH data management available for end users, even open source, as advanced professional tools designed for operators working in the domain of cultural assets for supporting Cultural Heritage experts in their investigations. Recently developed applications are more or less flexible outside their scope, not all suitable for non-experts users, each one addressing particular needs and giving priority to various aspects: (i) ease of use by non-expert end users both for quick and simple annotation on 3D representations and disseminating analysis and research outcomes (Shi et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2018); (ii) effective visualising methods and viewer platforms for 3D artefacts, complex 3D meshes and point clouds (Galeazzi et al, 2016); (iii) semantic-aware 3D representation for recording and integrating multidisciplinary observations of the conservation state into structural spatialised data (Carboni and De Luca, 2017;Messaoudi et al, 2018), tools for Heritage Building Information Modeling (H-BIM) solutions by enabling semantic 3D data (Apollonio et al, 2017c) and relying on a computational ontology for Cultural Heritage domain modelling and ontology-based web platforms for managing extremely large amounts of information (Garozzo et al, 2017), semantic reality-based 3D digital models of architecture acquired by means of photogrammetric or TLS customised workflows used as documentation containers (Gaiani, 2015) and for hypothetical reconstructions of completely or partly missed architecture (Adembri et al, 2017), 3D environment to annotate textual, numerical or graphical information directly onto the high resolution 3D model (Soler et al, 2017;Apollonio et al, 2018b), Information Systems and advanced diagnostics tools to support restorers in their investigation (Apollonio et al, 2017b;Apollonio et al, 2018a). Another issue was a suitable retrieval system for stored information with relevance for the user and in the form more consistent with his own interests.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Cultural Heritage management is a topical issue facing administrators, professionals and scholars involved in documentation, restoration and enhancement of the cultural assets. In the paper, after a general framework on the state of the art in the sector, two recent experiences are reported about Information System and integrated service platform for managing Cultural Heritage that authors contributed to develop with the aim of providing experts of the field with effective and flexible tools: the Information System for the restoration of the Neptune’s Fountain and the SACHER 3D Life Cycle Management for Cultural Heritage service. The paper describes in detail the two case studies and some possible implementation designed but not yet achieved for the latter, and finally presents some starting points for future research.</p>

“…FEA is used also to evaluate stress concentration and to map critical areas for material weakness or static stability. In [15] and [16], activities related to the Neptune Fountain in Bologna are presented. In these studies, FEA and experimental measurement are gathered on the 3D model to support restoration decisions.…”

Nowadays, restoration is a multidisciplinary work that gathers knowledge and skills from different areas (technical, artistic, historical, architectural, …). In the field of ancient bronze statues, technical knowledge may also concern with materials behaviour and its preservation, surface quality, non-destructive diagnostics for integrity, a better understanding of the manufacturing technology, and of details, sometimes hidden, in not directly accessible sections of the artefact. This knowledge, got from different domains, can support restorers in their decision-making process. In many cases, they summarise it on pictorial views of the artefacts, or on images derived from the 3D model that is experimentally acquired through reverse engineering, to reference information on the interested areas. The aim of this paper is to explore the advantages related to a CAD-based framework able to gather the technical domains involved in the restoration of historical artifacts. Doing so, CAD functionalities and related benefits may be extended to cultural heritage applications as tools oriented for restoration, according to a life cycle perspective of the restorer's activities and the artefact preservation and fruition. The proposed CAD-based framework has been implemented to manage the investigation for restoration and conservation of bronze statues. The approach has been applied to the Principe Ellenistico, part of the collection of Palazzo Massimo, one of the sites of Museo Nazionale Romano (in Rome). The obtained results show that the CAD-based framework may speed-up the investigation processes without losing accuracy and restorers' good practices.

“…The range of digital technologies spread widely the use of colorimetry in cultural heritage. Scientists approached reproducing an objects colour in digital form for two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction for conservation and valorisation purpose, 8,9 to help the archiving process 10 and using different devices. 11 Furthermore, the archives are going more and more through the digitisation of the conserved materials.…”

Colours in cultural heritage are not only means of expression, but also materials with physical and chemical properties. Since the beginning of the current century, colorimetry has become a fundamental field aiming at restoring, preserving and valorising the art works. There are different colorimetric applications in cultural heritage (eg, from light design to digitisation and modelling), and the variety of cultural material is extremely wide, from statues and frescoes, to old book and films. In this heterogeneous context, the development of instruments, measurements and tools faithful to the original objects are fundamental to correctly reproducing and representing materials, contrast and colours of the works under analysis. In this work, we will analyse the main limits of colorimetry applied in cultural heritage domain considering a variety of applications on physical colour representation and on digital colour reproduction. We will focus on main state‐of‐the‐art studies, regulations and guidelines for objects illumination, colour analysis and digitisation workflow showing some practical example of issues encountered by standard pointwise colorimetry.
