Fidenza: a new light
for the city
C
KOSMOS
ariboni Group returns to Fidenza, a historic city
of art and culture on the Via Francigena, in the
province of Parma, to give it a new light, 26 years
after the acquisition of Fivep.
A city that is very dear to the group, since part
of its history is rooted in this land. It is here, in fact,
that the acquisition of Fivep – an important company
in the lighting sector, born from the merger between
Fidenza Vetraria, specialized in high quality outdoor
and urban lighting equipment, and Pollice
Illuminazione, a company with a particularly
strong presence in the production of high-
performance and highly technological equipment –
took place, in 1993.
From the acquisition of Fivep
to the lighting of the city
ORAO
Returning to Fidenza 26 years later, to illuminate it,
represented an immense honour for the company.
In 2019, the municipality began to carry out
important works for the requalification of the public
lighting system and the valorisation of the area from
a Smart City perspective. An essential part of the
project was the installation of many of the Cariboni
products: 1079 Orao, 945 Kalos, 196 Agathos, 156
Kosmos, 98 Levante, and 14 Cube Flood are
today the new bright heart of the city.
The new lighting system has been created in respect
of the area and its particular characteristics:
lighting at 3,000 K has been chosen for the historical
centre, a number of versions in the Orao line
have been personalised to allow installation
on existing support arms that were specially made
for the city of Fidenza, and urban areas of particular
interest have been completely requalified and
illuminated with the products Agathos, Kosmos,
Kalos, Levante and Cube Flood.
The technical characteristics
of the new lighting project
A wireless remote control system has been chosen
for the dimming of the light flux. This solution
allows for the remote modification of the operational
parameters for the regulation of the light flux, either
centralised or for precise areas, modulating it in
accordance with the presence or absence of people
in the area in question. The remote diagnosis of any
malfunctions optimises maintenance works, while
sensors and other devices are integrated into the
light source, thus allowing for the provision of new
services to the city and its citizens. It is estimated
that the works will lead to energy savings of 62%.
