Arte & Culto | Lighting of statues and monuments
The artistic and architectural lighting
project for the Loggia was designed
by architect Claudio Dini, Professor
of Architecture at the University of
Florence, thanks to the contribution
of the Florentine fashion designer
Stefano Ricci.
The project enhances the gallery of
sculptural masterpieces housed in
the building,
Emphasizing lights and shadows
allows the viewer to properly
appreciate artistic and architectural
details that are otherwise hidden
to view; to enjoy the harmonious
plasticity of the marble decorations
as well as the monumentality of
the cross vaults. The new, artistic
lighting project was implemented
using Linea Light Group’s cutting
edge LED technology. A software is
able to handle a countless number
of light combinations. For example,
the programme can be set to select
diff erent lighting in some hours of
the day, or give the Loggia greater
visibility or even plunge it into
darkness for special events and
exhibitions.
Compared to traditional lighting
fi xtures, our system allows energy
savings of around 75% while
providing the same illuminance.
Maintenance costs are almost
absent.
The increase in LED light points
from 4 to 91 was realized by Società
Illuminazione Firenze S.p.A. (Silfi ).
