Since 1973, we have been a key player in lighting this coastal stretch and we are present in all the villages overlooking the sea.
Costa Amalfitana, Italy
1973 – 2019
Municipalities of Amalfi, Atrani, Maiori, Positano, Vietri sul Mare
Antonio Neri
In 2017, the Municipality of Atrani chose Sheliak collection with Light 804 lantern to illuminate village and coast.
Positano, known for its many flights of stairs that lead from the top of the village down to the beach, is lit with Light 801 lantern mounted on a Sheliak collection lamp post.
In Maiori, Alcor collection with Light 21 was chosen.
Amalfi was one of the first towns lit by our lamp posts back in 1973. The old ‘Light 800’ lanterns were replaced with ‘Light 801’.

Lighting Restoration in Martina Franca
For Neri, restoration means giving continuity to the identity of a place — as in the historic center of Martina Franca, where the redevelopment of public lighting helped enhance its most authentic elements. The 270 historic wrought-iron lanterns, which have lit up alleys and squares for decades, were dismantled, sandblasted, repaired where damaged, and repainted. Original decorative features were preserved and highlighted, while irreparable structural elements were faithfully reconstructed. To ensure visual and functional consistency, 298 new lanterns identical to the originals were also produced. A similar restoration was carried out on the 12 lanterns of the main square, characterized by unique dimensions and ornamentation. The project also included the integration of LED technology, replacing the old light sources, and the removal of opaque glass panels — improving both energy efficiency and light quality.
New Light for the Porticoes of Bologna
The Pavaglione portico, part of Bologna’s portico system recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the focus of a redevelopment project led by Studio I-DEA, within which Neri completely restored the historic chandeliers, now equipped with LED technology to ensure greater efficiency and safety. The intervention involved a thorough conservative restoration: cleaning, structural reinforcement of the metal sheets, gold painting as per the original finish, and a new fastening system for the glass parts, now also protected by a transparent safety film. A precise and respectful work that brings to light Bologna’s historical identity and demonstrates how light can also be a tool for heritage preservation.
Polis: Contemporary Light for Pistoia
Pistoia regains a new identity thanks to the lighting redevelopment project carried out by Hera. The intervention selected Polis as a key element: a lighting fixture designed to blend elegantly and discreetly into the most delicate urban settings, replacing old systems with high-efficiency LED solutions. Its sober design – simple, flat, and circular in shape – naturally integrates into the urban fabric, enhancing public spaces and the surrounding environment without altering their historical identity. The project focuses on balancing aesthetics and performance: construction quality, LED technology, and attention to the context combine to create a more welcoming and safer urban environment, even at night.
