The 3D digital facial approximation of Saint Anthony of Padua

Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints of the Catholic Church, with great veneration in Italy, Portugal and Brazil. The present work sought to approach a little of the history of this religious figure in order to contextualize the recognitions of the body, among which the exhumation of 1981 that allowed the technical analysis and the cranial replica, digitized and used in the project presented here for the approximation of its face, as well as the survey of the endocranial volume, with the use of new technologies and statistical data collected from computed tomography.
