Virtual reconstruction of the Ducal Palace of Oliveto Lucano (Basilicata, Italy)

The reconstruction of the Ducal Palace aims to create virtual models, seeking a synthesis between technical data restitution and a naturalistic and evocative rendering of the architectural context. Generally, to create three-dimensional models, it is essential to have graphical drawings of the sites that will be represented with 3D computer graphics. Various survey methods can be used to produce these drawings, or data from surveys already carried out in the past on the architectural context can be used. In the case of the context presented in this work, the starting point was the scale plan of a cadastral map from the 1940s and photographs taken on site, specifically of the sixteenth-century basement walls, which are still present since the palace was demolished in 1946 to make way for a square in front of the mother church.
