Abstract

On July 19, 1992, in the waters of Punta del Serrone (Brindisi, Italy), over 200 fragments of bronze statues of exceptional manufacture were found. This paper traces the history of the exceptional discovery and fate of the finds. The first part deals with the recovery, the conservation and exhibition operations and the main stages of the analytical study that led to their identification and the reconstruction of the events that led to their abandonment on the seabed. The second part is dedicated to the digital acquisition and processing of the statues through laser scanning and to the virtual restoration and creative modeling of some of them, carried out on the occasion of Nel mare dell’intimità/In the sea of intimacy, an exhibition set up at the Brindisi airport and between July 2019 and January 2021. The third and last part tells the making of the computer animation video Rottami preziosi. Una ballata del mare profondo/Precious Scrap. A ballad from the deep sea, created for the exhibition, and dedicated to the narration of the entire story of the bronzes, retracing the different phases of the creative process and the solutions devised to combine all the available assets in a narrative function.
