The aim of this project, realized by the Italian National Research Council, is to create a virtual environment from the scene “The Rule Confirmation”, painted by Giotto in the Upper Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi at the end of the XIII century. The scene has been represented in 3D, starting from an accurate study of Giotto’s space, characters, proportions and the models have been “mapped” using the original artist’s painting. Users can virtually enter into the Giotto’s fresco and mix with characters, assuming their particular point of view. The scene is brought to life: characters are animated and represented while performing the action painted by the artist, in this way the space illustrated by Giotto becomes a place of experience open to multi- sensorial narration and participation.
