Rethinking Lighting and Communication for a Cultural Asset, a Case Study: the Roman Villa La Consolata

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused service disruptions in numerous sectors of human activity. Museums and cultural institutions have unfortunately been among them. However, the emergency has put insiders in a position to find solutions to make the works usable in digital mode, applying research and technologies that have been the subject of research over the last twenty years. In this contribution, a case study will be considered related to an archaeological site museum of a Roman villa, which suffered from usability problems long before the pandemic. Some possible interventions will be listed to improve readability and communication with potential visitors. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
