Abstract

Using digital methods, the time has arrived for deepening the scholarly analysis of visual and written documents that validate and/or reveal previously unknown urban circumstances. Traditional methodologies of art, architectural and urban history remain the foundation of rigorous digital approaches; the study of a city necessitates scholarly decryption of information and visual sources that connect them to a broader historical context. As new digital tools and applications have become available, iconographic and textual sources– primary data of exceptional value not only from an historical point of view, but also for interpretative inflections – can now be interwoven as a scientific practice. This is the principal objective of Visualizing Venice to Visualizing Cities.
