We’re pleased to share an exciting update from the RCtoDC (From Raw Collection to Digital Collection) project. Our team recently completed a new round of field work in Ljubljana, where we carried out the 3D documentation of two exceptional marble angel sculptures by the renowned Baroque sculptor Francesco Robba (1698–1757).

Created between 1740 and 1750, these sculptures stand as remarkable examples of Robba’s mastery of form, movement, and marble carving, and they hold an important place within the artistic heritage of St Nicholas’ Cathedral in Ljubljana.

Using advanced 3D scanning technologies, we captured the angels in high detail, documenting not only their delicate craftsmanship but also their broader historical and cultural value. The resulting high-resolution digital models will serve researchers, conservators, and educators, ensuring that these works can be studied and preserved long into the future.

This effort marks another meaningful step in our mission to digitally safeguard Slovenia’s cultural heritage. By transforming physical artworks into precise digital representations, the RCtoDC project helps support long-term preservation while creating new opportunities for accessibility, study, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

We extend our sincere thanks to our hosts at St Nicholas’ Cathedral in Ljubljana for their generous support and cooperation. Their commitment to preserving cultural heritage greatly contributed to the success of this stage of the project.

As the RCtoDC project continues to progress, we look forward to sharing more updates from our field activities. Thank you for following our journey to document, preserve, and promote cultural heritage — more news is on the way.
