Enjoy a different and innovative tourist experience

It is not just a guided tour of a city’s main sights. It is also a chance to discover its monuments, squares and streets as they were in the past. All thanks to rigorous 3D recreations.

Different types of content

Throughout the guided tourist route you will enjoy different types of content that help you get to know the city better.

3D 360 RECREATIONS

Thanks to 360 computer-generated recreations, visitors are transported to the city’s period of greatest splendour. They will see what the surroundings, streets, houses and monuments looked like, rebuilt as they originally were and in their characteristic colours. Thanks to the devices’ motion sensors and the 360 3D environments, users can interact with their surroundings. The scenes are not a mere architectural reconstruction: thanks to chroma key, the space comes to life and you witness scenes of both everyday life and historical importance. Characters from the period even act as your virtual guides.
