Evidence of the building dates back to 1205. In the 1600s the church underwent renovation work in the Baroque style, visible today thanks to the 2008 recovery and restoration work. The adaptation of the lighting system was carried out with absolute respect for the site and without burdening the interior and exterior spaces with the visible presence of fixtures. Small sets of projector lamps, installed inside the perimeter cornices and fitted with halogen bulbs pointed towards the ceiling, illuminate the space with evenly distributed lighting, providing excellent color rendition without glare. The exterior of the building is integrated into the rural context of the village and is illuminated via diffused lighting generated by projector lamps installed on distant posts and fitted with metal halide bulbs and refractors for controlling beam emission.

This section brings together a representative selection of lighting design projects in the architectural, museum, urban, cultural, retail, hospitality, and infrastructure sectors, both in Italy and abroad. The gallery documents projects of varying scale, function, and context, all sharing an approach to light as a tool for interpreting space, capable of engaging with architecture, artworks, landscape, and contemporary use.
The projects presented range from museums, foundations, and temporary exhibitions to historic buildings, places of worship, public spaces, and urban complexes, including corporate headquarters, private residences, yachts, and lighting masterplans. In each project, light is designed as a controlled material, calibrated to the characteristics of the location, its functional needs, and the perceptual quality of the experience.
Taken together, the collected works convey a vision of lighting design as an integrated process, in which technical rigor, cultural sensitivity, and attention to context contribute to the construction of spatial identity, orientation, and value. The gallery thus takes the form of a design map, capable of demonstrating how light can take on different roles—discrete or declared—while always maintaining coherence, measure, and design awareness.
