By applying this concept of learning VR, Ancient & Recent allows its tourists to be able to remember much more and for a longer time. The work carried out, also financed by the Lazio Region, required over a year of work between historians, assistants and 3D game programmers. It was also appreciated by Minister Dario Franceschini. He had the opportunity to try it a month ago at the Ferrara Motor Show.
