About the event

With the support and funding of the Italian Embassy in Cairo and at the request of the Egyptian Government, Sergio Iovino digitally captured cultural sites in 360 degrees and 3D floor-plan models.

The operation included the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, with special focus on unique artifacts including the skeleton of Nazlet Khater and the mummies of Amenhotep II and Ramesses II, as well as the Antiquities Museum and internal museums of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

The files were handed over to Egyptian authorities by Ambassador Riccardo Guariglia, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, during a high-level ceremony.
