Advanced digital technologies for the conservation and valorisation of the UNESCO Sacri Monti

Information technology touches all the main activities that orbit Cultural Her-itage, including management, communication, monitoring, and conservation. In particular, advanced digital tools can help the process of preservation, fostering a participatory process connecting diverse experts with various skills and educa-tional backgrounds, and empowering the maintenance activities. The practical ex-ample of this statement is its application to the Sacri Monti site. Thanks to its in-clusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the needs of the site are highlighted in the Periodic Report, a tool useful for monitoring the existing condition of the site. The research presented here, attempts to develop a solution for the conserva-tion issue, using advanced technology as a tool for managing the safeguarding ac-tivities, creating a product that actively involves users and stakeholders, contrib-uting to the valorisation process.
