Castelnuovo Parano (FR): indagini archeologiche e metodologia BIM applicata presso l'area del complesso architettonico del Castello

This contribution is the result of the preventive archaeology activities carried out in May 2021 in the Castelnuovo Parano (FR) castle area with the execution of preventive archaeological tests. The project, which concerns the castle structures, provided for the reorganisation of the open spaces in front of the castle nucleus. It should be noted that the existing structures were partly restored. In essence, these are architectural interventions aimed at improving the quality of the site. The work also allowed for the spatial use of the area delimited by the walls around the castrum tower. In the light of the design indications, the areas of two test trenches (I and II) were positioned and investigated in the areas where the new building interventions were located. As part of the same archaeological activities, a BIM model dedicated to the project was designed and realised in which all the data obtained would converge. This choice was determined by the need to create a computerised, searchable and functional platform for subsequent archaeological and topographical investigations, as well as for future research activities.
