A project for the exploration of cultural heritage in a European area of excellence: The Baroque Circuit of Val di Noto.

Abstract

South-Eastern Sicily offers a high concentration of Cultural Heritage to be promoted with innovative strategies of integration of all the resources present in the territory. Each work of art has its own artistic value, meaningful stories to communicate and material and immaterial engaging thematic itineraries. “Stories” able to reveal the wonder of the places and arouse curiosity about real and virtual journeys with itineraries connecting highly attractive centers to less important ones, as they are generally considered, outside the common tourist flows. The “NEPTIS” project has established a synergy between different scientific competences: from history of architecture to survey, from modeling to information technology in order to create and experiment a system software such as Conceptouring able to support the design and construction of immersive interactive experiences for cultural sustainable tourism in an area of excellence of European Baroque.
