Visualising Piffetti’s Library in Villa Della Regina Museum: an Interdisciplinary Digital Project for Knowledge Accessibility

This paper presents interdisciplinary research to enhance knowledge accessibility in museums. The scientific project is finalized to return to the public the imagery of the library crafted by Pietro Piffetti, a recognized masterpiece of 18th-century cabinetmaking, within its original location in the Villa della Regina. In the past, the library was moved to the Quirinale, where it is located today. The work pipeline includes the archival research and bibliographical studies in the art-historical field; the 3D digital survey of the library at the Quirinale and the room, now empty, in Villa della Regina; the recognition of the original parts by Piffetti; the reconstructive digital modeling and texturing of the library; the creation of the app and services for augmented and virtual reality experience aimed to interactive enjoyment of the reconstructed model.
