October. We have performed UltraViolet-induced (visible) Luminescence imaging (UVL) on the sarcophagus with Dionysus and Ariadne (Museo Nazionale Romano - Terme di Diocleziano, inv. no. 124682) and the child kline lid (Museo Nazionale Romano - Terme di Diocleziano, inv. no. 114906).
June. We have performed UltraViolet-induced (visible) Luminescence imaging (UVL) on the so-called Annona sarcophagus (Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, inv. no. 40799) and the Acilia sarcophagus (Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, inv. no. 126372). March-April. We have realized a high-resolution 3D model of the so-called Annona sarcophagus (Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, inv. no. 40799) using passive techniques. The sarcophagus was used as case study to extend and improve the systematic method already presented and tested on the Ulpia Domnina's sarcophagus (MNR-TD inv. no. 125891). The main idea is to integrate the computer-based technologies with consolidated scientific analyses and archaeological data to define a common work platform to use both for a better knowledge of ancient colour and gilding and for the dissemination of the results using the most recent 3D technologies for the Web.February. We have performed Visible-induced IR Luminescence (VIL) imaging on the so-called Acilia sarcophagus (Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, inv. no. 126372).
January. We have performed Visible-induced IR Luminescence (VIL) imaging on the so-called Annona sarcophagus (Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo, inv. no. 40799).
November. We have performed Visible-induced IR Luminescence (VIL) imaging on the sarcophagus with Dionysus and Ariadne (Museo Nazionale Romano - Terme di Diocleziano, inv. no. 124682).
July and August. We have performed Visible-induced IR Luminescence (VIL) imaging on several sarcophagi exposed in the Museo Nazionale Romano - Terme di Diocleziano cloister. Among these we deep investigated the background colouring and the inside plastering and almost sure red painting of the Ulpia Domnina's sarcophagus (MNR-TD inv. no. 125891).
November. On November 27th, 2013 successfully defended dissertation to earn Ph.D. distinction at the University of Pisa.
June. AWARD. "MeshLab and Blender: open source tools to support the study and virtual reconstruction of ancient polychromy" has been selected as best work at the ArcheoFOSS 2013 conference and it was qualified for publication in ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH), Vol. 8 (2015) 3 art. 16: 1-20.
