One of the most famous Italian landscapes is the UNESCO site of the Amalfi Coast with the relevant historic towns of Amalfi and Ravello.As part of the restoration of Villa Cimbrone, in Ravello, the paper proposes a reflection on the use of TLS in acquiring data for the elaboration of an H-BIM of the site.The application of HBIM to the recovery process and design allows to highlight some potentialities and criticalities of what has become an important instrument in the documentation and conservation of architectural heritage.The survey has presented several difficulties due to the particular configuration of the site, very steep,with very limited space around the object.If on the one hand the TLS is obvious to the lack of edges of cylindrical objects, on the other hand it poses problems for the tangency of the scan points.The Scan to BIM methodology has proven to be effective and has allowed to overcome the difficulties associated with the conformation of the artefact and of the site, in the study of the analyzed object.In conclusion, some assessments and results are reported, aimed at sharing and defining strategies and methodologies of scientific validity regarding the application of the HBIM model to a process of recovery and consolidation of an existing building object.
