Documentation and Valorization of Convents of Minor Orders and the Most Important Pilgrimage Sites in Tuscany. The Case Study of San Vivaldo in Montaione (FI)

The complex of the Sacro Monte and the Convent of San Vivaldo is considered one of the most interesting places of pilgrimage in Tuscany. Its location is of high landscape value, and in 1984, it was declared a national monument. San Vivaldo represents one of the most significant points within the network of places of pilgrimage and devotion represented by the Sacred Mountains. The complex today consists of the Church, the Convent and eighteen chapels located in the green around the convent complex, which, in the original project (first quarter of the sixteenth century), ideally reproduced the Holy City of Jerusalem. The convent and church were built at the beginning of the 16th century. The complex was studied by designing a 3D digital survey using the appropriate technologies to provide the metric, morphological and material knowledge necessary for the property’s documentation, preservation and enhancement
