The Basilica of Santa Restituta in Naples. Towards an information and interactive model

Has recently started a research aimed at the creation of an hypertextual information model on the Basilica of Santa Restituta in Naples Cathedral. It is one of the few Christian buildings still exist in the historical fabric of the city of Naples, which is, as is known, a millennial documentary palimpsest. The research aims at the creation of a hypertextual information model that will allow a virtual tour of the exceptional monument. The last systematic studies on the Basilica date back to the 70s of the last century, in an extensive program of restoration of the Cathedral, the results of which were published to its conclusion. The research - which we present the first results - has been inspired by an acquisition of data from a wide and significant iconographic and bibliographic research as well as from a survey made with technologies and advanced procedures and it identifies its first application in the Chapel of St. Mary of the Principle.
