Abstract

The project we present has two clearly defined aspects. It basically consists on the use of a newly developed software for the presentation and management of art collections. On the one hand, we use a database where all kinds of multimedia files can be downloaded. On the other hand, we have developed a book format in order to make accessible a linear reading of its contents incorporating multimedia files as well. As part of the scientific collaboration between the Real Academia de Bellas Artes in Madrid and the Istituto centrale per la grafica in Rome we present an example of its collection database. As a multimedia book, the recently edited "Giambattista Piranesi - "Sognare il sogno impossibile" published on the occasion of the third centenary of the Venetian architect will be analysed.
