Admiring close-up the frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel is a truly unique experience, but so far only restorers and a few lucky specialists have had the chance of being face-to-face with Giotto’s masterwork. From today Haltadefinizione is offering everyone, free of charge for six months, this amazing visual experience through unique images created with state-of-the-art technology applied to artworks.

At Haltadefinizione, web users throughout the world can take a virtual tour of the Scrovegni Chapel, thanks to a 360-degree panorama, and explore every inch of this masterwork, without any limits imposed by height, without having to keep their distance for security reasons and for as long as they like. All this is made possible by innovative technologies enabling the enlargement of every single detail without loss of definition. Haltadefinizione used more than 13,000 single shots, which made images of over 1000 ppi (pixeld per inch) across the whole work.
