Between Memory and Innovation: Murals in AR for Urban Requalification in Angri (SA)

The present paper reports about a recent urban acupuncture project, Augmenting Angri, started with its first edition in 2020 and carried on in the small city of Angri (SA). The project has adopted the city of Angri to test appropriate techniques for the enhancement of local cultural heritage, ex-perimenting the attractiveness and easy access to digital content offered by recent augmented reality apps, with the aim of engaging the local population in. The project therefore falls in the field of digital humanities for the enhancement of cultural heritage through ICT but, at the same time, it is also in the field of urban art, especially street art, very popu-lar in the last two decades in Italian cities. According to a Urban acupunture approach, we combined some advanced digital representation techniques to the traditional painted street art, designing the interaction of physical murals with digital content overlapped through augmented reality.
