The article analyses the complex digitisation project of Lucrezia Borgia's letters and registers recently carried out by the tech company Haltadefinizione at the State Archive of Modena. In addition to gigapixel acquisition, this case also involved the use of transmitted light digitisation in ultra-high resolution, allowing the unveiling of the watermarks in the documents. The article explores various methodologies used in the digitisation campaign and emphasises how these advanced high-resolution imaging techniques are a fundamental tool for preserving and making these valuable historical documents accessible.
