The C.RE.TE project investigates Renaissance terracotta sculpture in Northern Italy, focusing on Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto regions. It aims to produce the most comprehensive and up-to-date digital catalogue of such artworks from the 15th and 16th centuries, shedding light on artistic practices, production networks, and regional variations. A tailored metadata schema supports the classification of object types, artists and workshops, technical features, provenance, and conservation history. The resulting Open Access digital library integrates a dynamic search interface and interactive visualisations to explore chronological and geographic trends. Built entirely with front-end web technologies, the catalogue allows users to conduct advanced queries and access detailed records, including descriptions, images, technical data, and bibliography.

A tailored metadata schema supports the classification of object types, artists and workshops, technical features, provenance, and conservation history. The resulting Open Access digital library integrates a dynamic search interface and interactive visualisations to explore chronological and geographic trends.
