Viaggio virtuale nella Antica Roma « - Altair4 Multimedia S.r.l.

The CD-Rom “Viaggio virtuale nell’antica Roma” (Virtual Journey through Ancient Rome) is a breathtaking trip in time and space, devoted to a virtual visit to the architectures and the urban areas of ancient and modern Rome. It is possible to gain access to Roman main monuments either choosing from an alphabetical and a chronological list, or through the active areas of a wide model, over which we can fly with a sweeping bird’s eye-view, and zoom directly onto the most important archaeological sites in Rome.
Hypertextual cards about history, art and evolution of the city are also available. In some cases a visit to the monuments can be done through a spectacular virtual navigation system, allowing you to see both the present state of ancient buildings and their reconstruction, in relation to the most reliable scientific hypothesis.
The CD-Rom also contains a rare iconographical evidence from the 1850s: “Gli edifizj di Roma Antica” (The Buildings of Ancient Rome) by Luigi Canina. This book contains masterful drawings by this famous architect who worked for the Borghese family.
This CD-Rom has been the first publishing step in the achievement of the Ancient Rome Tour DVD: a multimedia project dedicated to the virtual reconstruction of Ancient Rome, developed with the support of UE within the development programme MEDIA2.
