Torre dei Sicconi - Chapter 8 - Reconstruction

After surveying, digging and historical research, we have started to think about, how the castle was looking like in the Middle Ages. 
Photos from the beginning of the 20. century, archaeological finds, 3D models, the comparison with similar, preserved castles: This are the bases for the virtual reconstruction made by Cicero Moraes.
Watch in the next chapter of Arc-Team's "Torre dei Sicconi" series the single steps of 3D reconstruction with Blender

Torre dei Sicconi - Chapter 7 - Historical Research

Historical Research is one of the most important steps during a research project like "Torre dei Sicconi". 
If we want to understand and interpret what we are finding during excavation and survey, we need to compare our site with other contemporary sites nearby. 
Watch in the next chapter of our "Torre dei Sicconi" series Arc-Team researching between the walls of the medieval castle ruin.

Torre dei Sicconi - Chapter 6 - Excavation

The archaeological excavation is still one of the most important steps during a research project like "Torre dei Sicconi". 
The main goal was to understand the construction phases, to get information about the composition and ornamentation of the interiors and the every day live of the inhabitants of the castle.  
Watch in the next chapter of our "Torre dei Sicconi" series Arc-Team excavating between the walls of the medieval castle ruin.

Torre dei Sicconi - Chapter 1 - A long time ago...

The Castle of Torre dei Sicconi (Tower of the Sicconi clan) was destroyed by troops from Verona and Vicenza in 1385.

For that reason we don't know how the building looked like in the Middle Ages.

One way to learn more about the original shape of the complex is reading historical sources which are speaking about the Torre dei Sicconi castle and it's single parts.

Some of them we would like to present in the first chapter of our film:

A long time ago...

Torre dei Sicconi - The Trailer

The Castle of Torre dei Sicconi (Tower of the Sicconi clan) is situated on the foothills south of the village of Caldonazzo. It was founded in 1201. 
The castle was destroyed by troops from Verona and Vicenza in 1385. 
The Cultural Heritage Department of Trento (office of archaeological heritage) has conducted excavations and restoration works between 2006 and 2008. 
That data was used for a virtual reconstruction of how the castle may have looked like 600 years ago.
During the next weeks we will publish nine chapters of a movie we've made, explaining the long way from archaeological excavation to virtual reconstruction:

Torre dei Sicconi - Caldonazzo - Monte Rive - 
The rebirth of a lost castle.

We start today with an appetizer: The 90 seconds long trailer of the project.
