The intent of this study is to promote and raise awareness of the Basilica of Saint Catherina of Alexandria in Galatina, a church endowed with such beauty as to be defined as astounding. In this article two technologies were used: Spatial Augmented Reality, better known as videomapping, to valorize the monument and narrate its story through images and sounds; and Augmented Reality, to facilitate the reading and interpretation of the most important frescoes located along all the internal walls of the Basilica. The goal is to create a unique path starting from the Basilica façade and continuing and winding through the interior spaces. One of the most extensive and best conserved cycles of Late Gothic frescoes in all of Europe unfolds on the nave of the church covering every corner, from the keystones down to the floor. An in-depth bibliographic research confirmed the presence of frescoes also on the exterior of the Basilica façade whose traces, however, are no longer visible today. Pietro Cavoti’ s illustrations give an idea of how the façade has changed over the years, before, during, and after the restorations that permanently removed the already faint traces of frescoes. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the combined use of these technologies can be considered a valid aid to support the enhancement, fruition, and understanding of a monument that is very important for the cultural heritage sector and a reference point for the local and religious community.

增强现实应用支持文化遗产推广

这项研究的目的是促进和提高人们对位于加拉蒂纳的亚历山大圣凯瑟琳大教堂的认识，这座教堂拥有令人惊叹的美丽。在这篇文章中，使用了两种技术： 空间增强现实，更广为人知的视频映射，通过图像和声音来评估纪念碑并讲述它的故事；和增强现实，以方便阅读和解释位于大教堂所有内墙的最重要的壁画。目标是创造一条独特的道路，从大教堂的立面开始，一直延伸到内部空间。整个欧洲最广泛和保存最完好的晚期哥特式壁画循环之一在教堂的中殿上展开，覆盖了从基石到地板的每个角落。一项深入的书目研究证实，在大教堂外墙的外部也存在壁画，但其痕迹如今已不复存在。Pietro Cavoti 的插图展示了外墙多年来的变化，在修复之前、期间和之后，永久性地去除了已经微弱的壁画痕迹。本研究的目的是展示如何将这些技术的组合使用视为有效的帮助，以支持对文化遗产部门非常重要的纪念碑的增强、成果和理解，以及当地和宗教团体。Pietro Cavoti 的插图展示了外墙多年来的变化，在修复之前、期间和之后，永久性地去除了已经微弱的壁画痕迹。本研究的目的是展示如何将这些技术的组合使用视为有效的帮助，以支持对文化遗产部门非常重要的纪念碑的增强、成果和理解，以及当地和宗教团体。Pietro Cavoti 的插图展示了外墙多年来的变化，在修复之前、期间和之后，永久性地去除了已经微弱的壁画痕迹。本研究的目的是展示如何将这些技术的组合使用视为有效的帮助，以支持对文化遗产部门非常重要的纪念碑的增强、成果和理解，以及当地和宗教团体。
