About

Massimiliano Campi is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital surveying, architectural heritage, and UAV photogrammetry. His work fundamentally advances how we document, analyze, and preserve ancient structures, with a particular focus on integrating cutting-edge aerial technologies into archaeological practice. His landmark study, "UAV photogrammetry for archaeological survey: The Theaters area of Pompeii" (2013, 44 citations), is a seminal contribution that demonstrated the transformative potential of drone-based imaging for capturing complex, large-scale heritage sites. By pushing beyond the initial limitations of UAV technology, Campi showed how these tools could produce highly accurate, three-dimensional models of fragile ruins, enabling unprecedented levels of detail and accessibility for researchers. This work has become a methodological cornerstone, influencing countless subsequent projects in digital archaeology and architectural conservation. Beyond this, Campi’s broader research portfolio consistently explores the synergy between advanced surveying techniques and historic preservation, making him a pivotal figure in the modern, data-driven study of our built past. His contributions continue to shape how scholars and practitioners approach the documentation of cultural heritage.
