摘要

During the twenty-year period of its diffusion, the Art Nouveau movement manifested in the city of Turin an exceptionally strong presence, both qualitatively and quantitatively. All types of buildings and artistic expressions offered an original interpretation of this aesthetic sensibility thanks to the innovative construction technique of reinforced concrete, which saw its first applications in the Savoy capital through the French Hennebique patent imported by the engineer-entrepreneur Giovanni Porcheddu. The experimentation with an Artificial Intelligence model aimed at the datafication of individual decorative and structural elements in various buildings attributable to the Liberty style has demonstrated an extraordinary potential for the creation of interpretive models, both for the study and cataloguing of heritage objects and for the adoption of effective restoration practices. The construction method of the decorative elements, and their prefabrication - which anticipates and confirms the content of Walter Benjamin’s famous essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction - has guided the research toward new classification and datafication models, now made possible by the support of Artificial Intelligence. Multidisciplinary collaboration among experts in computer vision, digital and geolocated surveying, and specialists in architecture, art history, and architectural-artistic restoration techniques is fostering a new and fruitful synergy among professional experience and skills, aimed at expanding knowledge and developing new policies for the conservation of architectural heritage.
