Cochin is one of the largest seaports in India. The city is undergoing an extensive energy renovation project. For the city's main street, the parallel pedestrian street bordering the sea and Jew Town with its artistic and local shops, different products by Neri Spa were chosen, with the aim of enhancing the different environments by exalting their specificity.

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.
