Abstract
The paper reports the results obtained from the digital survey of Giottesque frescoes in the Archiepiscopal Palace of Milan. Multispectral Imaging and Image Based Modelling techniques have allowed the study, the high-resolution documentation and the virtual reassembly of the fragmented frescoes: the integration of spectral data with RGB ortho-images and 3D models has supported the interpretation of the pictorial cycle by virtually relocating the fresco fragments and evaluating their consistency from a technical, iconographic and art-historical point of view. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has great potential for the documentation of wall paintings preserved in highly hostile contexts of fruition. Due to its versatility and portability in the field, its sub-millimetric accuracy, and the different outputs that can be generated, Close-Range Digital Photogrammetry has proven to be the ideal tool in case of scattered and difficult-to-access data.
