The astrological cycle of Schifanoia: a digital representation

The present paper illustrates a multimedia product created for the astrological cycle of Palazzo Schifanoia. Given the importance of the building and its frescos in the history of architecture and Renaissance art, it is visited by a significant flow of tourists every year. The complexity and layered nature of the information contained in the pictorial program, synthesis of the Arab-Persian, Indian and greek-Ptolemaic knowledge of the astronomical and astrological, have made the narration of the cultural, geographic and iconographic route of the images difficult. The multimedia product was thus created to facilitate its communication.
