Villa Manin, art and history intertwine in IKON's interactive touchpoint

The origins of Villa Manin date back to the seventeenth century and over time this prestigious residence has brought eminent personalities to Passariano, in the Friuli plain: its rooms have hosted doges and kings and were used as headquarters by Napoleon Bonaparte first and Charles I of Habsburg then. Today it is a cultural center of reference in the region for the organization of art exhibitions and musical events, as well as for the cataloging and restoration of cultural heritage.

To introduce visitors to the long history of the Villa, its park and the Manin family, IKON has created an interactive touch point. From this position it is possible to follow the construction phases that led to the current conformation of the area; admire its architecture in a meticulous 3D reconstruction and take a virtual tour of its halls to discover the objects and works of art that characterize them. Finally, a series of timelines allows us to deepen the role that the villa and the territory have had over the centuries and to get to know the illustrious characters who have passed through here.

The three-dimensional reconstruction process of the complex also made use of aerial photogrammetry techniques to obtain a result that is particularly faithful to the original. For the realization of the virtual tour of the interior spaces, the Virtours technology developed and patented by IKON was used.
