Storytelling for Cultural Heritage: theLucrezio Menandro’s Mithraeum

The essay is part of the valorization for the knowledge of Cultural Heritage and is articulated ac-cording to three different readings: a first semantic reading, concerning the meaning of narration of a specific “story”; an operational reading in which the proposed methodology is applied to a concrete case study; a reading on the possible scenarios of communication for knowledge, using AR. The first results of the ongoing digitization process of the collection inside the buildings of the Ostia Antica Archaeological Park in Rome are presented here, where innovative digitization and data optimization technologies are compared with the immense heritage of the Park, animating the exhibition-inter-active itinerary, creating digitally usable content through AR, reflecting on the opportunity of these technologies to create new forms of digital storytelling for use and knowledge.
