The 3D Morphometric Survey as Efficient Tool for Documentation and Restoration in Pompeii: The Research Project of Via dell’Abbondanza Marcello Balzani, Guido Galvani, Federica Maietti, and Nicola Santopuoli
Abstract The project had as primary objectives the safeguarding of architectural remains and the experimentation with restoration methodologies and materials. The restoration works addressed a number of fac¸ades along the stretch of the Decumanus Maximus known today as via dell’Abbondanza. After the collection of numerous notes from previous archaeological investigations and from visual inspections about architectural morphology, materials and state of conservation, surveys of ancient fac¸ades were carried out and measurement data were collected. The survey by means of 3D laser scanner of the varied and complex architectures have been characterized by an attempt to focus efforts on contributing representational knowledge of the existing site elements.

The Archaeological Site and the Restoration Project
The project titled “From Asellina to Verecundus: research, restoration, and monitoring addressing painting on certain famous Pompeian botteghe in Via dell’Abbondanza (Regio IX, Insulae 7 and 11)” was characterised by close collaboration between the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei, the “Valle Giulia” School of Architecture at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the School of Architecture and the DIAPReM Centre of the University of Ferrara, and the School of Engineering II of the University of Bologna (Forlı` campus). Its primary objectives were the safeguarding of famous

architectural remains and experimentation with restoration methodologies and materials. The restoration work addressed a number of fac¸ades along the stretch of the Decumanus Maxiumus between the Forum and the Sarnus Gate (a stretch known today as via dell’Abbondanza). The fac¸ades were unearthed in 1912 during excavation work under the direction of Spinazzola. Specifically, they comprise: • • • • • •
The Coactiliaria workshop or Verecundus’s felt shop (Regio IX, VII, 7-5); A private dwelling (Regio IX, VII, 3); The Infectoria workshop or dye works with furnace (Regio IX, VII, 2); The Coactiliaria workshop or felt shop (Regio IX, VII, 1); The Compitum with fountain, dedicated to the Olympian deities (Regio IX, XI, 1); The Thermopolium of Asellina (
