Abstract

The results of this work are in the project related to the virtual visit to the Greek colonies ofHerakleia and Metaponto. It was promoted by the "Soprintendenza ai Beni Archeologici della Basilicata", inorder to offer multimedia products and pathways of knowledge that articulate from the remains visible on theground surface to the digital reconstruction proposals. This work is done in 2006 with the publication of aninteractive CD-ROM to be installed inside the National Museum of Metaponto, but this experience continuestoday, thanks to a continuous review of 3D models recalculated with modern photo-realistic renderingalgorithms.Since 1964 Metaponto has been the subject of intensive archaeological research. The abundance ofrecovered materials documenting the peculiarities of local artisan production, the variety of architecturaldecorations engaged in major public buildings of the sanctuary and agora and the Mediterranean dimensionof trade. There are few equals in quantity and quality of data in the landscape of the Greek colonies ofsouthern Italy. Despite missing the third dimension, as in most of the archaeological sites and visibility on theground is often reduced to a few structural elements such small traces that create complex layouts. Theancient Metaponto virtual visit was based on the above premises and it is developed in relation to themethods concerning the reconstructive archeology, now widely accepted by the scientific community. Themain purpose of the virtual visit is to provide information, not only on what is directly comprehensible by adirect visit of the monuments, but also and especially on those items that are difficult to understand. Eachreconstructive hypothesis is aimed to enhance both the educational value of archaeological items and to,responds to the need to make this understandable to the public. Through a systematic study of past andpresent documents, traced in a transparent and intelligible way, this experience of virtual archeology intendsto give to the public the interpretation results with the high scientific rigor.
