With this contribution we intend to continue a research started in a previous study on the construc-tion of a narrative strategy to communicate the pictorial images of historical cities. Resuming the theo-retical and cognitive process started previously, which directed the research towards the construction of a geocoded map of urban paintings and their use in augmented reality, we now intend to validate the proposed methodology on the pictorial image of Naples, chosen as a case study application, iden-tifying weaknesses and strengths of the research process and its possible future directions.
Phygitalarcheology for the Phlegraean Fields
The research investigates the theme of the valorization of the huge, but widespread, archaeological heritage of the Phlegraean Fields which, already weakened in its conservation and fruition by the bradyseismic phenomena of the area, is made even more fragile by the absence of narrative strategies, making even local communities unable to perceive its value. The study proposes a systematization of the knowledge of the Phlegraean Fields Park, through surveys and 3D models, integrated by the use of different digital technologies, which together promote effective forms of communication between users and heritage. Each site becomes the node of a network of thematic routes, traced starting from the major attractions of the area and aimed at defining a hybrid landscape, made of in site visits and immersive digital experiences. The goal is to generate a new model of inclusive museum, configuring cultural relationships between physically distant places, between lost spaces and real ruins.
