'Khrôma' the first software for management of the Color and Decoration Plan for small historic villages

The 'Khrôma' project is aimed at creating the first software for the management of the Color and Decoration Plan that can be applied to small historic villages. As is well known, Italy is made up of many small historic villages that are described as "minor historical towns". They have been suffering for decades from a state of abandonment.The total lack of awareness of the importance of buildings within a wider historical-artistic context has generated the development of a methodology that can guide the qualitative and cultural appearances of the construction sites: namely, the Color Plan. However, the drafting of the Color Plan always requires competent professionals who are able to read and interpret the indications provided by the plan: this is the most important critical issue that makes the color plan an ineffective tool in the hands of nonexperts.An integral management on a digital platform would enable the application of the color plan for small historic villages, and would thus permit improved accessibility to the application of the plan as compared with the methodology currently in use.The proposed 'Khrôma' software has the possibility to customize the functions and the database adjusting them to a territorial application on a specific area in question; its features include simple and intuitive graphical interface, independent functioning and accessibility that does not depende on any digital device.Thanks to 'Khrôma' software, it will be possible then to introduce a simplification in any given technical-bureaucratic procedure that can then be communicated to citizens as information regarding the upgrading process to their territory.
