Cariboni Group illuminates Busseto
It is with great satisfaction that we are proud to have played an active role in illuminating Busseto , an Italian town in the province of Parma , in the Emilia-Romagna region , which is world-famous as the birthplace of the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi , in 1813 . The town has very ancient roots , dating back to the 10th century . For about five hundred years it was the capital of the Pallavicino State , and on March 24th , 1533 , it was officially proclaimed a city by Charles V , Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire . Developed in agreement with the Superintendence of Parma , from the very beginning the lighting project aimed to enhance the architecture in its original forms and volumes through a soft and diffuse lighting . The focus of the project , which led to the installation of several of our luminaires throughout the city , was the lighting of Piazza Giuseppe Verdi and of the Rocca Pallavicino , home to the Giuseppe Verdi Theatre and the Municipality of Busseto . To illuminate Piazza Giuseppe Verdi , Levante luminaires were installed under the eaves , providing a soft and even lighting . During the day , this solution reduces the visual perception of the projectors , which are nonetheless marked by a modern and linear design ; at night , thanks to the asymmetrical optics that guarantee a G6 class luminous intensity , it ensures an optimal luminous uniformity . With its fifteenth-century rectangular layout , the square is dominated by the bronze monument to the great composer Giuseppe Verdi made by sculptor Luigi Secchi in 1913 . To allow citizens and visitors to admire it at night , floodlights with a colour temperature of 4,000 K were chosen to enhance the materic nature of the bronze . For the lighting of the Rocca Pallavicino ,
a major historical building that can be admired from the square , it was decided to use Sigma and Trail luminaires with a colour temperature of 3,000 K ; a warm light , suitable for enhancing the original colour of the matter and bringing out the bricks of the walls . The side towers have been lit with Sigma , using different optics – including an ellipsoidal one – to balance the illuminance levels and precisely follow the contours of the architecture . The bell tower and the clock tower , on the other hand , are lit with Trail , which , thanks to an internal lighting system , enhances the architecture and leaves the battlements in shadow , highlighting them by contrast . Our solutions were also used to illuminate the hamlet of Roncole Verdi , where Giuseppe Verdi ’ s birthplace is located , as well as several areas of the town centre : Agathos lanterns illuminate Viale Alfonso Pallavicino , a tree-lined area with a cycle path ; Kalos and Newton lanterns are mounted on high-mast lighting running alongside the Sports Park , illuminating the sports field and the surrounding track used for running , cycling and skating ; Kai and Kairos street lights border urban and provincial roads , ensuring safety and viability . The project was carried out in collaboration with the technical team of Restart Progetti .
