Abstract
During the "Italy 1990s" World Cup, the city of Verona became the site of an important archaeological discovery. The modernization works of the city’s infrastructures have allowed to exhume a Roman necropolis of the imperial age along the Via Postumia outside one of the main entrances to the city. Thirty years later, the UNESCO Relations Department of the Municipality of Verona and the Archaeological Superintendence promoted an exhibition that would tell the story of the discovery of necropolis, involving the University of Pavia for the experimentation of a communicative graphic strategy of the archaeological excavation, now invisible. The investigations undertaken were aimed at understanding the events that characterized the excavations and archaeological discoveries. From these, it was possible to synthesize the information collected and develop operational methodologies for an inclusive and replicable virtual narration of the necropolis. The exhibition planned inside Porta Palio aims inspiring users to learn information through an emotional involvement by integrating multiple forms of communication: the signs and languages that have characterized the end information Century will be updated with unpublished digital products, drawings, illustrations and interactive virtual models. These new elements will make it possible to produce a story that is a starting point for a collective imagination that approaches and connects, through the drawing, the community to its own territorial and cultural context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
