“Primary objectives of the operation: energy
efficiency and standardization of the plants, with
particular attention to citizens’ safety and with
a specific focus on the modulation of the light colour
in different urban scenarios. All of this with products
characterized by a design adapted to the
architectural context of the city.” (Engr. Andrea
Bonni – coordinator of the project - ASM Vercelli)
Based on the Masterplan, a project was set up
that “is the synthesis of some related fundamental
aspects: the mapping of the real situation through
a census of the Public Lighting of the city, the
consequent elaboration of macro-categories of
corrective actions aimed at a complete adaptation
to sector regulations, and, on the basis of these,
the definition of specific and punctual actions
responding to optimization and efficiency criteria.”

implemented with optics developed ad hoc by the
manufacturer to overcome challenging installation
conditions. In the historic centre and prestigious
areas, products with classic design have been used
–Crotone and LQ093 –, preserving in some contexts
the original lanterns, which Ghisamestieri has
restored and converted to LED technology through
the supply of retrofit kits or more complex
operations of restoration. The choice of low colour
temperatures (3,500°K, 3,000°K, and 2,200°K),
to reduce the typical blue component of LED
sources and to achieve the desired chromatic effect
in the various contexts of the city, did not
compromise the performance of the appliances,
which have reached or exceeded the performance
levels required by the project. The urban lighting
upgrade will be completed once the installation
of about four thousand laFoglia model street lamps
has been completed. All products have been
supplied in a tools free version (with LED modules
and drivers replaceable without the use of tools,
to facilitate maintenance and technological
upgrading) and are equipped with an automatic
night-time dimming system, to reduce
consumption at night, when traffic is reduced.
In some products of the historic centre,
point-to-point systems for managing the luminous
flux and the related energy consumption have
been implemented.
“The upgrade of the system will lead to an almost
60% in energy savings, with a significant increase
in lighting and safety levels in some critical areas
and a clear environmental pollution reduction
in terms of CO2 emissions.” (Engr. Andrea Bonni –
coordinator of the project - ASM Vercelli)

The intervention led to the replacement of obsolete
equipment with new Ghisamestieri LED products,
the company selected by the public tender for
supplying. “The design approach was not limited
to the individual replacement of the lighting fixtures.
Based on lighting simulations conducted in
collaboration between designers and builders,
differentiated interventions have been predisposed,
correcting and rationalizing the installation
geometries.” (Engr. Mattia Filippo Pagliai –
Studio Alfa Collaborator)
The choice of the most suitable models for
replacement has focused on elements with
important furnishing characteristics, capable
of combining lighting function, visual comfort,
and aesthetic value. To maintain the stylistic
continuity of the circle of avenues (which enclose
the city centre), the Piattello model was selected,
