The conducted research investigated the site of Santa Lucia di Mendola near Siracusa. The site was chosen because it is characterized by “an absence”, the Norman basilica, whose decontextualized architectural and sculptural remains are only partly visibly exhibited in museums, others are “invisibly” kept in stores. The investigation has involved close interdisciplinary collaboration and is based on archive studies and on geometric and formal studies of survey products. Surveying operations were conducted with high precision techniques which provided a digital scenario of the cultural object. The achieved results make it possible to virtually disseminate the “silent” museum heritage, not to consign it to oblivion and set up a system for knowledge protection and cultural dissemination.

Abstract
The conducted research investigated the site of Santa Lucia di Mendola near Siracusa. The site was chosen because it is characterized by “an absence”, the Norman basilica, whose decontextualized architectural and sculptural remains are only partly visibly exhibited in museums, others are “invisibly” kept in stores. The investigation has involved close interdisciplinary collaboration and is based on archive studies and on geometric and formal studies of survey products. Surveying operations were conducted with high precision techniques which provided a digital scenario of the cultural object. The achieved results make it possible to virtually disseminate the “silent” museum heritage, not to consign it to oblivion and set up a system for knowledge protection and cultural dissemination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
