Summary

Photogrammetry emerges as a powerful tool for characterizing the complex geometry of rupestrian churches, such as San Pietro da Morrone in Matera, Italy. This study demonstrates its effectiveness in overcoming the limitations of conventional surveying methods by generating accurate 3D models that capture both architectural structures and integrated artistic elements like paintings or sculptures. The approach provides valuable insights into the building's geometry, serving as a reference for conservation efforts and future research on similar heritage sites.
