VIRTUAL MUSEUMS FOR LANDSCAPE VALORIZATION AND COMMUNICATION
Research in the domain of landscape virtual reconstructions has been mainly focused on digitization and recording inside GIS
systems, or real time visualization, paying a minor attention to the development of a methodological approach for the landscape
narration, combing different registers, conceptual, emotional incitements and, thus, able to arouse in the public a feeling of emotional
“sensing” and self- identification. The landscape reflects also the human activities in the territory and the communities’ cultural
patterns, their sense of “belonging”. In a virtual museum of landscapes, the multidisciplinary approach, the multiplication of
perspectives and voices, storytelling, acquire primary importance. A Virtual Museum of landscapes should integrate both holistic and
delimited visions. The holistic vision requires a diachronic approach, including both present and past phases of life. On the other
side, delimited, or “monographic”, representations are useful to go deeper into specific and exemplar stories, regarding specific
groups of people.
Beside, the emergence of new social media enhancing cultural interactions among people induce the creation of specific social
platforms for Cultural Heritage for the active participation of a large number of stakeholders. Co-creation scenarios and tools can be
particularly promising. Aton is an example of front-end VR social platform in the web end, for the efficient streaming of
medium/large landscape, their exploration and characterization.
The Tiber Valley Virtual Museum is an example of sensorial cultural landscape. Starting from the acquisition of topographical data
through integrated technologies, several multi-sensory scenarios have been created, inside which visitors can feel embodied and
involved
