Abstract
Documentation, conservation, and knowledge of architectural and urban patrimony is an open and central problem affecting the management of cultural heritage assets in our territory.
Too often, however, such a richness isn't balanced by an adequate planning and shows a substantial lack in the capacity of providing all needed information for researchers and experts work, either in normal or emergency conditions.

The inadequacy of the traditional approach concerning documentation and conservation can be explained as the result of a lack or disorganization of information. On one side in fact a relevant information base (geometrical, structural, etc.) is missing even for well known sites; on the other existing data sets are often dispersed among various actors being seldom centrally reunited in a repository for storage and retrieval.
Part of the problem is related to the absence of data banks capable of delivering
any time critical information to the intended intervention effort, up to the point that often the partial or total damage of an artefact has represented its definitive loss.
In this field, however, we are experimenting an actual revolution due to the appearance of the 3D Scanning technique which is becoming very well known. It consists in a regular exploration of an object operated by a laser or other electromagnetic beam emitted and received back by an appropriate instrument, the 3D Scanner. The measure of the time between >>>

Research Objectives
There is strong dissonance between the extraordinary architectural and urban patrimony we can find in our country and the generalized lack in interventions concerning its conservation and valorisation as well as in the capacity of providing all needed information for researchers and experts work, either in normal or emergency conditions.
Possible reasons for this serious inconvenience can easily be found in a general lack of adequate databases, structured to extract anytime critical information concerning possible interventions. This situation affects not only the "background" Cultural Heritage Patrimony, but even the most famous monuments, whose most relevant characteristics (geometry, structure, etc.) are only sporadically and partially documented: as a result partial or massive destruction of a monument often coincides with its definitive loss.
A solution to this problem seems to be actually at hand owing to new sophisticated acquisition and manipulation data technologies (3D scanning, CNC equipments with CAD/CAM interface) as well as to the development of software oriented to real-time managing of different information sets (database): these data can be afterwards recalled and selected according to any need.
Presently, though, despite a number of unique experiences, organic studies aiming at testing these technologies and at defining a framework methodological approaches for documentation and conservation activities have not been carried out yet >>>

First Results
From this task we expect a relevant increase of basic knowledge concerning the instruments themselves and their management; on the other hand, though, a productive feed-back process between research institutions and manufacturers will be set up in order to reach an overall improvement of existing equipments as well as the development of new ones.This task represents the core of the project: the main part of results, both on the theoretical and operational side, are then expected during this phase. Beyond the set up of methodologically correct procedures, a number of virtual 3D models will be acquired, constructed and elaborated according to the research line expressed by each Research Unit.
All these elaborations could form a first national kernel for data responding to a common methodological standard being in the meanwhile open to further additions or integrations.
Some of these examples will be used for testing the previously illustrated on-line dissemination techniques.Refining and validation of the procedures developed within the project.
Application to relevant real cases.
Partial reports on local research on the Internet and in the proceedings of meetings. Publication of the final research report on journals and conference proceedings.

The question is quite complex, and addresses not only a solution, but an organic investigation capable to put in full light its specific terms. In order to design the heterogeneous scientific framework of this research proposal it is useful to start from this very opened question.
