For the first time in its history, the Colosseum has been fully digitized thanks to an integrated three-dimensional survey and Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) project. The intervention, promoted by the Colosseum Archaeological Park directed by Alfonsina Russo, has generated the first complete geometric-morphological database of the amphitheater, laying the foundations for a new phase in the management, conservation and enhancement of the monument. 

The project was carried out over two years, under the scientific responsibility of Dr. Federica Rinaldi and the direction of Architect Barbara Nazzaro. The operations were carried out by a grouping of companies led by Consorzio Futuro in Ricerca CFR of Ferrara, joined by GEOGRA’ Srl of Sermide, ETS Srl and JANUS Srl of Rome. The different skills brought to bear allowed each phase of the work, from data collection in the field to its digital processing, to be addressed in an integrated manner.
