The application enhances the cultural heritage of the Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, a Unesco World Heritage Site, through the use of new digital technologies. New generation tools allow to discover, explore, virtually visit and enjoy interactive experiences, including playful ones, either on site or at home, promoting and enhancing the historical, cultural, artistic and natural heritage.
The App and the technological platform of the portal www.sacrimonti.org collect and manage the tourist and cultural information and content of the Sacri Monti.
Immersive thematic tours
We have designed various thematic itineraries to accompany the visitor, created the high-resolution photographic material and recorded the multilingual narrative voices. An important added value is the possibility of visiting the interior of the chapels in virtual reality with high-resolution images.
Virtual and augmented reality
Digital technologies have allowed to compare realities belonging to different historical moments, for example, to compare the image of a statue before and after restoration, highlighting the differences. Another use is to recreate an artistic environment as it was in the past, reviving a place by showing works of art that have been moved elsewhere.
Gamification
Interactive itineraries with games for different audiences allow visitors to learn about the history and appreciate the art of the Sacri Monti in a more engaging and playful way. They are designed according to the target group: families, history or art lovers.
Georeferencing
The use of maps and user localisation allows the visitor to move freely along the tour route.
Beacon devices
These devices send a Bluetooth signal with a unique identifier that can trigger interactions based on context and location. The notification on the smartphone triggers specific content.
