The congress is aimed to identify and put in correlation the researchers who study the phenomenon of the shrines, in a multi-disciplinary perspective which comprehends the relations among the man, the environment, the art and the culture. A comparison between different discipline (anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art history, religion history and conservation) and points of view: the religious one (priests, believers, faithfuls and pilgrims), the laical one (philosophers, musicians and music scholars, psychologists, sociologists, writers and designers) and the one of everybody who interpret the idea of shrine as the meeting point of art, technic, work and devotion spirit.

Fiftieth Anniversary |3D PITOTI | Rock art documentation between Sweden and Alps | Recording rock-art Fieldwork 2014

	Fiftieth Anniversary of Centre's activities In the last 50 years, the CCSP was a place to meet and discuss where they were born and trained researchers ideas and proposals, one powerhouse of ideas, a great place for interdisciplinary exchange where it was possible to grow professionally. To remember, to take stock of the activities carried out and those in progress, to plan the future will be organized video screenings, meetings, exhibitions, conferences and debates that animate the second half of this year. The program wants to involve the territory, the camunian institutions and cultural partner Italian and international, that in those 50 years have collaborated with the Institute.
	3D PITOTI: acquisition, processing and presentation of prehistoric European rock-art 3D PITOTI Project promoted and co-financed by the European Union. Partners: Nottingham University (UK), Fachhochschule St. Pölten (A), Cambridge University (UK), Bauhaus-Universitaet Weimar (D), Technische Universitaet Graz (A), ArcTron 3D GmbH (D), Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici (I). The 3D-PITOTI project will significantly advance both the state of the art in rock-art research methodology and the 3D recording of rock art in general. Moreover it will not only 'take the rock-art to people' for the first time but will convey Pitoti (the local term knowledge to a much wider audience in interactive and engaging ways. The main goals of the project are: • To build an affordable and portable multi-scale 3D scanning toolkit for high resolution acquisition of Pitoti figures and their natural context; • Develop intelligent data processing technologies to enrich the scanned 3D data by classification, clustering and retrieval techniques;: • Create interactive 3D visualisation and presentation techniques to provide access to the enriched high resolution digital rock-art for scientists, museum visitors, school children and web users More info on dedicated website http://www.3d-pitoti.eu/
