The
reconstruction of the ancient landscape aims to connect the research
activity with a system of communication able to reflect and transfer
them to the final user.
The traditional archaeological research preserves the difference
between two main approaches: a field research on the site which
brings to an historical interpretation (bottom-up) and vice versa,
a theoretical-based one which looks for concrete field evidences
(top-down).
The reconstruction of the Villa of Livia, on the contrary, aims
to unify the two approaches: the creation of two levels of transparency
enables the user to move himself inside the virtual space keeping
at the same time the perception of the current archaeological
area with its related reconstruction.
