Virtual Sicily 2017-2019

Virtual Sicily, also known as Archaeology of Sicily is 3D, was an interdisciplinary research project aimed at the 3D digitization of that Sicilian archaeological heritage deemed physically or digitally inaccessible, relatively unknown or poorly documented, potentially endagered or in need of a stronger digital presence online. The project run from 2017 to 2019 and discontinued in 2020 due to the global pandemic.

A remarkable number of Prehistoric, Classical, Late Antique and Medieval archaeological sites were 3D digitized via terrestrial laser-scanning and terrestrial and aerial digital photogrammetry.
