Videogrammetry for the virtual philological reconstruction of the Scaliger fortifications in the territory of Verona The case study of Montorio Castle

The submitted paper deals in a research that concerns documentation systems for the Scaliger fortifications in the Verona area by using a case study: the Montorio Castle. The research aims to analyze the possibilities offered by drones for the creation of 3D models using frames exported from video footage. This activity creates a groundwork for the philological reconstruction of the military structures through its main construction phases. Accordingly, a possible development is to begin a process to enhance and preserve the historical knowledge of these fortifications through studying and describing them.
