Abstract
Nowadays the advanced Information and Communications Technology (ICT) represents an important opportunity to facilitate the “interpretation” and “presentation” of cultural heritage. The INCIPICT project, through the support of an optical communication infrastructure, gives the opportunity to conduct experiments relating to different fields of research, among which the cultural heritage enhancement. The aim of the paper is to illustrate the MUS.AQ digital museum of L’Aquila project, representing a new way to document, conserve and enjoy the architecture and urban space of the city. Through digital and interactive applications, it is addressed both to scholars and not, and it favours the understanding and knowledge of the characteristics and values of L’Aquila cultural heritage.
