Tactile image of the canvas "Lucania ’61" by Carlo Levi: made in 2019, is a haptic scaled version of the large canvas (18.50 meters x 3.20 meters) that Carlo Levi painted to describe the Basilicata region and to honor his Lucan friend Rocco Scotellaro. The original canvas is kept in the Levi Room of the National Museum of Medieval and Modern Art in Matera. Aim of the project has been the realization of a tactile version that makes this artwork accessibile to visually impaired people. The 3D printed model has been presented to the public on the 19th of September 2024, in Turin, by the Fondazione Giorgio Amendola - Associazione Lucana in Piemonte Carlo Levi.
Tactile image of the painting "Christ and the Samaritan woman" by Annibale Carracci: made in 2016, it is located, beside the original artwork, at the Pinacoteca of Brera in Milan (Italy), in Room XXVIII.

Tactile images of seven tapestries depicting the Battle of Pavia: made in 2015, for the exhibition “1525-2015. Pavia, the Battle, the Future. Nothing was the same again”, a satellite event of Expo 2015, held at Visconti Castle in Pavia, from 13 June to 29 November 2015. The exhibition featured one of the spectacular series of seven tapestries depicting the Battle of Pavia: “Sortie of the Besieged and Rout of the Swiss, Many Drowning in the River Ticino,” with a representation of the city of Pavia in the background. 3D reconstructions, applications for eye and gesture human-computer interaction, and tactile images were developed for an exhibition path in which art, science and technology meet.
