The project hypothesis proposed is related to a seven years old girls funeral inscription, belonging to gens Valeria, as an opportunity to discover rites, signs and emotions linked to the history of a place, becoming a personal story. The virtual reconstruction wants to bring out the social and anthropological aspect of the site, underlining the emotional value of the separation of earth life. The theme is explored through the combination of different sources – archaeological, epigraphical and literary – giving a key role to the narrative tradition of story-telling. The immersive experience, supported by visual and sound effects, is divided into two parts: the rebuilding of the decorative structure of the colombarium and the rievocation, through an avatars testimony, of the moments of a roman funeral ceremony.
