The Theatre of Marcellus: between historical memory and digital innovation

This study presents an integrated research initiative on the Theatre of Marcellus, combining archaeological, architectural, and digital methodologies. The project investigates the site’s historical evolution and sociopolitical significance within the Campo Marzio through a multidisciplinary approach. A detailed 3D laser scanning and photogrammetric survey supported documentation and modeling efforts, enabling critical interpretation and digital reconstruction. The study emphasizes modeling strategies for restoration analysis, lighting simulations, and heritage communication. The resulting 3D repository serves both scientific and public engagement purposes, offering a dynamic platform for interpretation and preservation of one of Rome’s most iconic architectural and urban landmarks.
