History
To develop this project, I aimed to maintain historical accuracy as much as possible, researching various sources to gather the most information available. Below are some parts of the VR experience with explanations of how I developed them.
Introduction
In designing the project, I was inspired by the Sutermeister Museum in Legnano. I highly recommend visiting it, along with other museums in the area.
Celtic Sword
On the left, a 3D model of a Celtic sword created by Urizel. On the right, a Celtic sword found in Malnate, now preserved in the Museum of the Castle of Milan.
Convent of Saint George
Before becoming a military structure, part of today’s castle was a convent. In the image, you can see the arch that was at the base of the convent’s tower. The castle is dedicated to Saint George, likely due to the presence of the convent and earlier churches.
Fortifications
In 1446, the castle was fortified with a structure similar to what we can visit today. The castle had a drawbridge, and to reconstruct it, I based my work on the drawbridge of Pagazzano Castle and historical photos of the Castle of Milan.
Farm
In 1883, the castle was transformed into a farm. I used various historical photos to reconstruct how the castle might have looked during that period.
