Abstract

The present work reflects on the possibilities that the technologies of data acquisition and three-dimensional reproduction of artistic objects offer for the generation of never built historical artworks. The research focuses on the scientific and manufacturing labours carried out by Factum Arte on the work of Canova and Piranesi. Through the projects of materialization of some pieces that were not executed by the Veneto artists in their age, we revaluate the changing consideration of the reproduction of the artistic work and we analyse the parameters that allow considering the originality in the creations of historical artefacts in our present time.
