Cover illustration: The roman amphitheatre of Catania: Reconstructive hypothesis with the various entrances to the monument. The research undertaken by IBAM-CNR between 2014 and 2015 aimed towards obtaining a three-dimensional reconstruction of the monument by combining diverse methods (virtual archaeology, digital archaeology, NDT integrated technologies) of data acquisition and processing. This made it possible to acquire important data for the creation of an exact reproduction of the parts of the monument that are still hidden and provide a faithful reconstruction of the entire architectural structure. The virtual reconstruction was performed by the Information Technologies Laboratory (ITLab) of the IBAM-CNR (itlab.ibam.cnr.it) (with kind permission of Arch Francesco Gabellone scientific director of ITLab_IBAM-CNR).
