𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐎, 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐎 𝐃𝐈 𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐎 𝐀 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐙𝐙𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐄 Un lavoro di rilievo in 3D a partire da una statuetta della Collezione di soldatini “Alberto Predieri”. Grazie alle tecnologie del Laboratorio #GeCoUniFi, guidato dalla docente Grazia Tucci del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile e Ambientale - UNIFI, è stato possibile realizzare una statua a grandezza naturale del leggendario “Penco”, inaugurata lo scorso fine settimana a Leccio di Reggello (FI) in occasione della 50° edizione dei festeggiamenti annuali dedicati a questo caratteristico personaggio. 📌 Penco è il nome che gli abitanti del posto avevano attribuito alla statua di terracotta raffigurante un soldato napoleonico, posta a inizio ‘800 sul tetto della Fattoria della Loggia, dove è rimasta fino al 1940. La figura è entrata a far parte della cultura locale e oggi Penco riprende “vita” grazie alla tecnologia 3D dei laboratori dell’Ateneo. 🌐 Il modello digitale ottenuto dalla scansione tridimensionale di un soldatino di piombo, che rappresenta Napoleone, è stato elaborato ed arricchito di dettagli per permettere l’ingrandimento fino alle dimensioni di una persona. Si è passati poi alla stampa 3D e alla finitura metallica. 📍 La statua è stata posizionata in piazza Manin a Reggello, di fronte alla fattoria dove si trovava l’originale Penco.

🌊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐧! 𝐏𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 🏛️ The Department of Ingegneria Civile, Edile e Ambientale - UNIFI at the Università degli Studi di Firenze is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking project: the creation of a “3D digital twin” of the Arno River, spanning from Ponte alle Grazie to Ponte alla Carraia, right through the historic heart of Florence! ✨ 🚀 Cutting-Edge Technology in Action: Using state-of-the-art drones, 3D laser scanners, and georadar, this project delivers a highly detailed 3D model of the riverbed, bridges, retaining walls, and facades of the riverside buildings. But that’s not all—underwater drones and advanced sensing technology also reveal what lies beneath the surface, from hidden infrastructure to pollution levels! 🌍 A New Era for Monitoring and Preservation: This digital twin goes beyond just mapping the visible structures. It integrates crucial data on the river’s submerged elements, hidden utilities, and plastic pollution, providing a powerful tool for risk assessment, conservation planning, and heritage management. 🎮 An Immersive Experience Like Never Before: Imagine walking along the Arno, but in virtual reality! With 3D Gaussian Splatting technology and VR headsets, you can now explore and interact with the digital twin in a fully immersive virtual environment. Get ready to see Florence’s historic river like you’ve never seen it before! 💡 Collaborative Innovation: Thanks to the collaboration with Microgeo srl, Dynatech - Dynamic Technology, and the support of Società Canottieri Firenze this project marks a huge leap towards the 2030 European digitalization goals, blending cutting-edge tech with heritage preservation. 🔮 A Vision for the Future: This pioneering digital model is set to become a crucial tool for managing and safeguarding the Arno River and its surrounding infrastructure, helping mitigate current hydraulic risks and preserve Florence’s cultural treasures for generations to come. We started today! Stay tuned for more updates on this innovative project that is redefining how we protect and experience our cultural heritage! #Innovation #DigitalTwin #Florence #CulturalHeritage #PNRR #ArnoRiver #ClimateChange #HeritagePreservation #UniversityofFlorence #DICEA #FutureOfConservation
