The original goal of the intervention was to adapt the building to the technical and functional needs which had to be met in order to host the State Art Gallery permanently. ... The lighting project was devloped in close collaboration with the broader project of the interiors. The decision was made to integrate the lighting apparatuses into the architecture as much as possible to hide them from the view ... The Picture Art Gallery Director requested a lighting design that would give priority to the vertical planes with a homogeneous and controlled illumination to host painting both large and small without interruption. The corridors and galleries adjacent to the rooms ... provide the normal flow of the museum itinerary while hosting sculptures. The lateral courtyside ... and the large central octagonal patio receive light from the transparent covering ... "Cestello" fixtures were chosen for the technical lighting tasks in all the display areas: this system is extremely flexible and permits to adjust the light source by +/-45° in relation to the horizontal and vertical planes. The used sources are extra low voltage 100W halogen lamps with built-in optics, color temperature 3000 K, a continuous spectrum emission, different opening beams, an average lifetime of 3000 hours. The vast entrance lobby houses two large "Cestello" in the cylindrical version (12 halogen lamps 100W) with an additional lamp positioned in the lower part of the fixture to increase lighting towards the floor.
