Il rilievo 3D dell’altare maggiore della chiesa di Maria SS. dei Sette Dolori a Serra San Bruno.

This paper forms part of the “SPLASCH - Smart Platform and Ap- plications for Southern Cultural Heritage” project, funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU, and addresses the challenges related to the survey of an important 17th-century altar located in the Church of Maria SS. dei Sette Dolori in Serra San Bruno (VV), which was dismantled and readapted in the early 19th century from its original location. The altar was commissioned in 1631 to Cosimo Fanzago for the Charterhouse of Saints Stephen and Bruno in Serra San Bruno and the work was completed around 1650. A devastating earthquake in 1783 destroyed much of the church that housed it, leaving the high altar almost entirely intact beneath the collapsed dome. In the years that followed, the Charterhouse fell into complete abandonment, and after the Napoleonic suppression of the monastic orders in 1807, it became a quarry for the construction of new churches and private buildings in the nearby inhabited village. The main altar was dismantled and relocated to the Church of the Addolorata, hav- ing been altered and adapted in form due to the smaller size of the hosting church compared to the original Charterhouse. This contribution focuses on the survey activities of the altar and its 3D reconstruc- tion as a basis for its virtual relocation to its original site.
