The municipal web site notes that the city is 'giving the keys to the city to National Geographic' as part of an agreement under which CISA3 and National Geographic got formal permission to resume the search for the Battle of Anghiari mural.
Blogger Matteo Vitiello traces the roots of the search for the Battle of Anghiari, a mural by Leonardo da Vinci that Maurizio Seracini believes he will find inside a wall of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. (In Italian)
Unseen drawings by Leonardo da Vinci hidden below the paint on his 'Adoration of the Magi' were shown at an event in the Palazzo Vecchio, when Florence gave its formal approval for CISA3 to resume the search for da Vinci's lost mural, the Battle of Angiari. (In Italian)
The arts blog picked up the news service story from ADNKronos, under the title: ‘Leonardo, world premiere in Florence for unseen drawings of the 'Adoration of the Magi'. The drawings were shown by UCSD's Maurizio Seracini in a talk during the Florens 2010 festival.
The news service features a story on CISA3 research scientist Albert Lin and his quest to use the power of human computation (crowdsourcing) to find antiquities in Mongolia.
Brigitt Rangel sat down with CISA3 director and IGERT-TEECH co-PI Maurizio Seracini for a look into his life, his work, and the technology that drives it.
The digital marketing and technology company is mentioned in the National Geographic news release about Field Expedition: Mongolia, for which Digitaria designed the look and feel of the project website that uses crowdsourcing algorithms developed at UCSD.
The Thaindian website picked up the ANI news service report on CISA3's search for the hidden tomb using advanced visualization and analytical technologies, as detailed by project leader Albert Lin.
The Italian newspaper reports on efforts by world-renowned Renaissance scholar Carlo Pedretti and CISA3 director Maurizio Seracini in support of the ongoing effort to prove the existence of a da Vinci masterpiece in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. (In Italian)
At a press conference, UCSD's Maurizio Seracini tells reporters that 'in the early months of 2011, the research on the Battle of Anghiari should resume. “There are no further problems from the technical or methodological point of view,” Seracini is quoted as saying, adding that “now we are in the fundraising phase to make the new experiments happen.” (In Italian)
After a very Italian-style wait, a long planned project to find the greatest work by Leonardo da Vinci is about to get under way, a detective’s investigation into 'the greatest work of the Renaissance.'
The National Geographic news service reports on efforts in the field of crowdsourcing, including a field expedition to Mongolia led by CISA3 research scientist Albert Lin.
In its annual ranking, the magazine highlights the Calit2 StarCAVE virtual reality environment and specifically the way it is used by UCSD archaeology graduate students to walk through a dig site in Jordan via an interactive computer model. The StarCAVE item is image 23 of 30.
Lynne Friedmann reports on the CISA3 and Calit2 initiative known as Training, Research and Education in Engineering for Cultural Heritage Diagnostics (TEECH), which will create digital clinical charts that 'allow the monitoring of artifacts over time and informed decision making about restoration, repair, and other solutions.'
The widely-read website alerts its readers to the opportunity to do some citizen science in support of the CISA3-National Geographic field expedition to Mongolia.
