The present study represents an in-depth investigation of the capabilities offered by the visual reconstruction process and its potential applications in the immersive environment. The research focuses on a project of extraordinary documentary relevance related to the architectural heritage of Turin, which bears the signature of a young Antonelli. Although never realized, this project is accompanied by a vast and valuable body of archival, graphic, and textual material. This contribution aims to bring Antonelli's work to life through reconstructive digital modelling. This approach allows one to visualize the architect's original visions and create an immersive environment where observers can explore the work and interact innovatively. In addition, the research integrates an interdisciplinary approach, allowing the project to be placed in the historical and architectural context of Antonelli's time. This opportunity greatly enriches understanding of this fundamental period in Turin's architectural history. Overall, this study is essential to enhancing architectural heritage and promoting the adoption of advanced digital solutions for conserving and enjoying cultural heritage.
