The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo (church of
St Michael the Archangel), better known as the
Santuario di San Pantaleone (sanctuary of Saint
Pantaleon), stands in the historic town centre of
Miglianico in the province of Chieti.
The original building dates back to the 18th century,
while the current structure is the result of an
extension built at the start of the 20th century,
which included the creation of the facade with the
new doors.
The facade’s renovation, overseen by the architect
Daniela Giandomenico, was completed with a
lighting project designed to bring out the form of the
building’s architectural elements, at the same time
as exalting its stone surface.
The lower part of the church’s facade has been lit
with Litus 2.4 recessed fixtures, with 3000K white
light, 13°x52° elliptical optics, and a glass screen
with no visible screws, to allow the devices to
integrate perfectly into the stone surface. The
fixtures were installed concealed in the stone
architraves of each door to light the entrances.
For the upper part of the facade, the choice fell
to Lyss 1.0 projectors with 3000K white light and
10°x180° optics, set a little back on the outer frame
of the rose window to highlight the sculptural
decorations, and at the base of each niche and
lunette to emphasise the profile of the arches.
