This augmented reality app breathes life into the iconic paintings of the Cerasi collection, the heart of Palazzo Merulana, offering immersive storytelling through the history of art. Users encounter references to the artists, their works, their eras, and the vision emanating from a remarkably cohesive collection. Through the app, these masterpieces animate in a performative artistic installation by NuvolaProject, where natural intelligence meets artificial intelligence in a genuine dramaturgy developed with the museum art historians' scientific counsel. Featuring a signing actress, the augmented reality interpretation ensures perfect accessibility for deaf individuals, achieved with collaboration from the Ente Nazionale per la protezione e assistenza dei Sordi (ENS) an entity for deaf people. The aim is to provide an intense and comprehensive cultural experience. The project is realized with support from the Ministry of Culture.
