OPHERA Project - Opening cultural heritage to communities during the long-term restoration process after the earthquake in central Italy: digital technologies and new skills for cultural professionals.

Damage to cultural heritage due to natural disasters represents a loss of artistic and historical materials and, at the same time, an immaterial loss of people's memory and identity. One of the most impactful events for both communities and cultural heritage was the 2016/2017 earthquake in central Italy.

In the Marche region, the most affected territory, 1,664 listed historic churches and 1,223 listed buildings (including castles, palaces and archaeological sites) were damaged or destroyed. More than 13,000 pieces of movable art with varying levels of damage were removed from these listed buildings and stored in temporary conservation centers. Regarding the landscape impact, 285 historic towns suffered damage.

The concept of the OPHERA project is based on the awareness that the restoration of this cultural heritage is a long-term process, to which the next generations will be dedicated. The idea of the project is, therefore, to make part of the damaged cultural heritage and the cultural-artistic content associated with the restoration activity accessible throughout the restoration process using traditional and advanced interactive methods and tools. The OPHERA project aims to reveal the cultural values of the restoration process, which are characterized by a rich pattern of creative skills and tools normally shared among restoration professionals (architects, art restorers, researchers, art managers, historians ) including the most advanced technologies on preventive methods for heritage conservation in order to increase people's culture of prevention.

The project, through the formation of a European team of cultural operators and artists and the organization of two events in restaurant venues, aims to foster a cultural exchange between restaurant professionals and a broader public represented by citizens, visitors, local administrators, students, the cultural association in order to transform the restoration process into a cultural event.
