The paper proposes a multiscale digital memory for marginal mountain contexts, demonstrating how architectural detail acts as an identity-forming device connecting urban morphology to the landscape’s cultural memories. In Scanno, transitioning from historical iconography (E. Lear, M.C. Escher) to the contemporary image relies on integrated surveying and multiscale digital reconstruction. This guides conscious reuse and replicable conservation protocols for sustainable settlement systems. The resulting documentation forms an active digital archive, moving beyond pure conservation to support three-dimensional digital models (digital twins) and interactive applications. This infrastructure combats depopulation via sustainable tourism and ensures full European academic interoperability.
