Marco Petrucci, Lighting Designer specializing in Lighting Design and Technologies
Academic training between La Sapienza University of Rome and the Polytechnic University of Milan
Marco Petrucci is an Italian Lighting Designer specialized in highly complex lighting projects in the architectural, museum, urban and historical-monumental fields. With a technical-formal approach and over two decades of experience, he has developed an authoritative professional profile that combines design creativity and scientific rigor. His professional identity is based on a conception of light as a structural component of the architectural project, capable of defining its character, directing its reading and enhancing its historical dimension. Marco is recognized for his attention to the perceptive quality of the illuminated environments and for the technical-cultural coherence with which he approaches each project, guaranteeing innovative lighting solutions that respect the context. Thanks to a multidisciplinary vision and an in-depth mastery of technology, Marco Petrucci is positioned as a reference figure in the field of contemporary lighting design.
From an institutional and deontological point of view, Marco Petrucci adheres to the highest professional standards. He is a member of APIL (Association of Lighting Professionals), a body recognized by the Ministry of Economic Development pursuant to Law 4/2013, which certifies its professionalism and continuous updating. This associative commitment underlines the authoritativeness of its profile and the constant attention to lifelong learning and compliance with industry regulations.
A solid academic background laid the foundation for his career in lighting design. He graduated in Industrial Design at the Faculty of Architecture "Ludovico Quaroni" of the La Sapienza University of Rome, where he developed a design sensibility combined with technical skills (title obtained in 2005). Driven by a growing passion for lighting technology, he continued his studies with a first-level university Master's degree in "Light Design & Technology" at the Politecnico di Milano, completed in 2006. This advanced training course – based on the scientific study of light – allows him to deepen lighting phenomena, emerging technologies and lighting design methodologies.
During his training, Petrucci has the opportunity to deal directly with the world of the lighting industry. Significant is the experience at Targetti Sankey in Florence, a leading company in the sector, where he carries out his degree thesis and collaborates on research and development projects. In this context, he worked alongside Paolo Targetti, deepening the industrial and technological dynamics related to the production of appliances. This phase, full of practical content, proved to be fundamental in refining Marco Petrucci's ability to combine technical research and design application: a combination that would become distinctive in his way of operating. Immediately after the Master's degree, thanks to the wealth of knowledge acquired, Petrucci definitively oriented his career towards lighting design, ready to enter the most stimulating professional contexts.
