Digital restoration of the Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci and multimedia tools to experience edutainment

A groundbreaking digital restoration of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper reveals previously unseen details, including an ideal city sketched behind Jesus and a salt shaker disrupted by Judas, using high-definition imaging and pigment cloning. The project, displayed at the Leonardo3 Museum in Milan, reconstructs the fresco's original colors through virtual archaeological techniques, comparing it with contemporary copies like Giampietrino's version. Multimedia tools and virtual reality (VR) enable an 'edutainment' experience, allowing users to interactively explore the painting as it appeared when da Vinci created it. This innovative approach combines art history, science, and heritage preservation, offering a new way to engage with cultural landmarks.
