Peter Bernini in calabria: the sculptures of the “SS. Pietro e Paolo Church” in Morano Calabro.

In this paper, the surveying of the statues of St. Lucia and St. Caterina d’Alessandria, obtained by laser scanner technique, is presented. To obtain the statue models, several acquisitions have been made, using a high precision triangulation laser scanner. On the digital surface models, the radiometric characteristics acquired by digital camera shots have been applied; in this way, realistic 3D models have been obtained, useful for virtual reality videos, and for the set up a Web site. The accuracy of the laser scanner acquisitions allows to detect some statue manifacturing characteristics, useful for recognizing the paternity of the works.
