Cariboni Group,
Royal Woodlands, Monza
The Royal Woodlands in Monza returns to shine
thanks to the lighting products of Cariboni Group.
History
The link between the Royal Villa, its Gardens
and the city of Monza took place through the
so-called “Boschetti Reali”, a triangular shaped area
set in axis with the south entrance of the Villa.
The regular system of the Royal Woodlands was
set on a series of avenues converging in a circular
square, crossed by a system of secondary paths, with
three squares at the main crossing points. The plant
still exists: the side avenues (Regina Margherita
to the west and Francesco Petrarca towards the east)
are today driveways, as well as the confluence
square (piazza Citterio), while the other
paths are pedestrian.
Project objectives
In addition to the unavoidable objectives of energy
efficiency and environmental sustainability widely
achieved, the fundamental objective of the project
was to install LED luminaires on the territory, with
a refined “old style” design, to trace the historical
characteristics of the urban furnishings, enhancing
the space, improving safety levels and respecting
the secular nature.
Conservative recovery
Cariboni proposed the AGATHOS lantern with
LED technology for outdoor lighting. AGATHOS
has completely replaced the old lighting fixtures
in the green and cycle-pedestrian areas.
The technical characteristics of the lantern are
coherent with the environmental context and LED
technology has improved its perception thanks
to the optical system suitable for the historical
centres, architectural or naturalistic areas such
as old villages and parks.
The LED product has been provided POST TOP
version with rotosymmetrical optics and it is ideal
for lighting an area as the Royal Woodlands,
recently neglected and for this reason subject
to a conservative restoration by Enel Sole and the
Municipality of Monza with the main purpose
of increasing the security levels of citizens.
It is important to point out that the trees have
been placed at the center of the interventions
in the Boschetti area. Indeed, in order to prevent
damage to the roots, a lifting mechanism was
adopted for the extraction of old street lamps
and the insertion of new ones, with the aim
of preserving the area.
Not only the Royal Woodlands, but also via Petrarca
and the avenue that runs along the Institute
of art have been the subject of restyling, providing
for the replacement of old equipment with LED
lamps to lighting the entire cycle path.
