The reconstructive study of the Greek colony of Syracuse in a 3D stereoscopic movie for tourists and scholars

A groundbreaking 3D stereoscopic documentary, 'Siracusa 3D reborn,' offers a transformative approach to presenting the Greek heritage of Syracuse. This virtual archaeology project, collaboration between IBAM-CNR and Arcadia University-TCGS, digitally reconstructs Ortigia, the core district of ancient Syracuse, providing an immersive experience that bridges the gap between academic research and public engagement. The documentary aims to correct historical misconceptions and enhance the city's cultural attractiveness by showcasing its significant Greek background, including the works of notable figures like Archimedes and Pindar. This innovative method not only advances the understanding of Syracuse's historical significance but also sets a precedent for developing new developmental policies that leverage digital heritage to foster economic growth and accurate public perception.
