Digitalisation of Textile Heritage

ADigTex is a multidisciplinary project involving Universities of Sapienza and Padua that aims to investigate the technology and economy of textile production in the Roman Empire by integrating data from a broad range of evidence such as fabrics, textile tools, literary sources and archaeological contexts. The project seeks to generate new knowledge regarding raw materials and natural resources for finishing textiles, tools and technical operations, as well as on a macro level, workplaces and social practices connected with Roman textile cultures

DIGArTex is a three-year project funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture under the YOUNG RESEARCHER 2024 (PNRR) research fund. The funding was granted to Postdoctoral Fellowships – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA PF) Projects awarded the Seal of Excellence. Principal Investigator Dr Francesca Coletti.

The A3TEX Center is leading the European consortium TEXTaiLES in designing a groundbreaking, end-to-end technological ecosystem for managing the entire lifecycle of textile heritage digitalization. This initiative spans from data collection to digital restoration, integrating cutting-edge technologies.
