On April 11th, the ‘Unitus’ Cultural Re-Discovering through Digital Innovation: S.MariaInGradi’ project was successfully completed and presented to ministerial authorities at the University of Tuscia’s Rectorate. This significant event coincided with the inauguration of the OLOS® installation at the Santa Maria in Gradi Monumental Complex.
The esteemed and knowledgeable figure of Fra Martino da Viterbo has been chosen as our exceptional guide and narrator. This 13th-century apothecary from the former Dominican convent now leads visitors on an interactive journey through time, sharing both the historical events tied to the complex and its current configuration.
The installation is part of a broader project aimed at promoting the protection, conservation, restoration, accessibility, enhancement, and digitalization of the cultural heritage associated with Santa Maria in Gradi. The interactive narrative is made even more accessible through the multilingual O®MD system, which can be accessed using users’ smartphones without the need for app downloads or a mobile network. Additionally, the system supports LIS/CC for users with hearing difficulties or disabilities.
