ARCHiVe has completed the first high-resolution digital recording of one of the great tapestries owned by the Giorgio Cini collection: The Entry into Palestine of the Army of Vespasian. In March 2022, a team from Factum Foundation obtained 3D data of the full tapestry's front side and colour information of both front and back with a resolution around 500 dpi at 1:1 scale.


From January 9th to 16th, a team from Factum Foundation carried out the colour and 3D recording of the polyptych known as the Beaune Altarpiece, inside the Hôtel-Dieu Museum. The high-resolution color and 3D surface data will allow to monitor the state of conservation of the altarpiece with a great degree of precision, unmatched to date. The scanned data constitutes a precious documentary fund for the history of this work.


In November 2022, as part of a seminar organised by the Centre for Global Heritage and Development at Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden, a team from Factum Foundation recorded two paintings by Theo Van Doesburg using the Lucida 3D Scanner and composite photography. Both the surface layer and 3D recording were acquired in high resolution, and the data will be used to help the preservation of the two paintings.


Factum Foundation has worked with the Musei Capitolini and Fondazione Prada on an ambitious project to recreate the large-scale sculpture of the Colossus of Constantine for the exhibition 'Recycling Beauty' (November 17, 2022 - February 27, 2023).

The 13m-tall work is currently on display inside the Cisterna at the Fondazione Prada, and is the result of several months of work that started with recording the original fragments of the colossal statue in April 2022.

Over the past weeks a team from Factum Foundation has been conducting a training programme in digital heritage documentation, focusing on photogrammetry, for participants from EMOWAA (Edo Museum of West African Art) and NCMM (National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Nigeria). The aim of the training was to establish a team of digital heritage specialists enabled to carry out recording projects both in Nigeria and abroad.

Factum Foundation and Factum Arte worked with Fondazione Palazzo Te on recreating five designs by Giulio Romano as physical objects for the exhibition 'Giulio Romano. La forza delle cose' at Palazzo Te (October 8th, 2022 - January 8th, 2023). The intricate drawings were rematerialised as 3D models before being 3D printed in sections and cast in a variety of materials depending on the size and complexity of their details.

This new book by Factum Foundation explores the cultural significance and preservation challenges of the Bakor monoliths in Cross River State, Nigeria. The result of six years of work and collaboration with several Nigerian and international partners, it is the first book dedicated to the subject since Philip Allison's 1968 Cross River Monoliths.

Are the heritage authorities going to act in favour of the preservation of this important cultural asset and acknowledge that the model proposed by Factum Foundation and Re:Form has already proven successful and demonstrated that bell making can be revitalised? Will sensible decisions be made on the grounds that the Whitechapel Bell Foundry’s optimum value lies in the fact that it is a bell foundry?

On September 24th 2022, ‘FAREWELL TO THE HOPPERS’ was the first event of AaltoSiilo project produced by Factum Foundation as part of Oulu2026 culture programme: a series of performances, projections and a concert organised in the iconic Silo by Alvar Aalto.

Organised by Factum Foundation and ARCHiVe as part of the programme 'Fare Arte' conceived by the Scuola di Palazzo Te, the workshop Recording Giulio Romano: Shape & Surface aims to introduce students and professionals to the techniques and methods of digital preservation. From September 12th until September 16th, the 30-hour workshop introduces the theoretical and practical methodologies for digital recording, while carrying out a real digitisation project inside Palazzo Te in Mantua, Italy.
