The transfer of measured points from a model to the stone during traditional copying or enlargement.
Riporto dei punti is the actual transfer of points from the model to the sculpture. Le voci del marmo uses the phrase repeatedly in its demonstrations of the pointing machine and proportional comparator.
Etymology
Italian: riporto, “transfer/carrying over,” + punti, “points.”
Sculptor Notes
Messa ai punti names the broader system; riporto dei punti names the transfer operation itself. Keeping the distinction helps explain what the carver is physically doing at each stage.
