"When I was first commissioned back in 1998 to design the refurbishment of the Sala d´Armi in the Museum, my first thought was to create perimeter walls with niches that would house the display cases containing the objects of outstanding historical value and expert craftsmanship in a "suspended" position, namely without revealing the supports ... I used the ceiling as the background for my sculpture on the "Battle of Human History" ... I used "pietra serena" with its grey colour for the walls, whereas on the floor I used iron, copper and gold. The ceiling was plastered with stucco mixed with copper powder, giving it a profond and calm reflection and a reddish tone; it is also dotted with a fibreglass elements covered in the sheets of lead" (Arnaldo Pomodoro, FLARE 26, april 2001). The study of the lighting for the "New Sala d´Armi" devloped alongside the architectural, theatrical and museographic project, undergoing the same alteration and structural changes. The display cases contain the most important items of the collection: they are suspended and illuminated by light that is "magic" because it is invisible. The cases contain the light fittings both inside and outsid. Using special functions (they consiste of a recessed multicompartment system with very low voltage alogen lamps, asymmetric lens and directional light on the object, no shadows, controlled luminance, a uniform distribution of the light beam ensured by the prismatic proctetive glass.
