A Sarzana nasce il MUdeF Un viaggio immersivo lungo la storia e l’evoluzione delle fortificazioni della Lunigiana
Abstract
The MUdeF - Multimedia Museum of the Fortresses of Lunigiana, recently opened in the old Firmafede Fortress in Sarzana, offers an overview, significant and unique in Europe, on buildings dating back to the period of transition from medieval castles to Renaissance ones. The new museum is an interactive and emotional journey that winds along 27 rooms, narrating the history and the distinctive elements of Lunigiana, captured through the changes of the fortified buildings, the evolution of customs and traditions and the stories of some historical figures connected to the area. The multimedia exhibition of MudeF was designed and developed by ETT S.p.A., a Genoese creative and digital company that has integration of humanistic and technological knowledge as hallmark. The integration of various technological solutions - NFC, capacitive and proximity sensors, projection mapping, 360° video projections, talking pictures – and new generation storytelling, creates an engaging and immersive visit and learning experience. The project is an interesting case study of how the targeted use of new technologies in museums allows to fully enhance historical-architectural complexes that, despite not owning works or collections enough "charismatic" to compete with the main tourist attractors today, can offer visitors interesting experiences and cultural enrichment through the narration of their long history and connection with the surrounding territories.
