Digital twin of Portici di Bologna launched to study role in climate adaptation

The digital twin will help researchers understand the impact of climate change on the historic porticoes and inform adaptation strategies.

The city of Bologna has launched a digital twin of its historic Portici di Bologna, a complex of Renaissance-era porticoes, to study their role in adapting to climate change. The digital twin will allow researchers to simulate various climate scenarios and analyze the impact on the porticoes, including potential damage from extreme weather events. The study aims to inform adaptation strategies for the city's historic architecture and improve its resilience to climate-related risks.
