Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) improves the visualization of text on deteriorating surfaces by utilising multidirectional lighting, while a new micro-photogrammetric method with a USB microscope allows for detailed examination of technological traces at the mesoscopic scale. The study will explore this use of digital technologies using three inscriptions from the province of Viterbo (Italy) dating from the 13th-15th centuries as case studies, one for each method: photogrammetry will be applied to the commemorative inscription (13th century: 1279) on the Sepale fountain in Viterbo; RTI will be tested on the commemorative inscription (14th century: 1333) of the church of S. Maria Assunta in Orte; finally, micro-photogrammetry will be applied to the funerary inscription (15th century: 1403) of the church of S. Maria Maggiore in Civita Castellana.

We record each decision—what sources support it and how it appears in the model—so readers can see the chain from evidence to image. A color-coding system highlights confidence levels: features based on excavations and measurements are shown as strongly supported, while elements that are inferred (such as roof forms) are clearly marked as hypotheses. The result is not a single “truth,” but a well-argued, reviewable version of the past that others can question, improve, and reuse. To support access, we make available a lightweight photogrammetric 3D model, the documentation graph that links sources to features, and the figures; the full Blender working model is available on request.
