A lamppost weighing 1,650 kg, 6.5 m high and surmounted by a 180-cm lantern, it was installed to be clearly visible in the misty lagoon. Produced in the mid-19th century by the Hasselquis foundry of Venice, presumably in a single exemplar, it has been restored by Neri Spa, which also studied the optimal solution for the illumination of the lantern, of large dimensions and of rare elegance.

Strix is the new lamppost designed by the studio of Cannata & Partners Lighting Design. Strix arose from the legend of the witch of Benevento, from her pointed hat and from her broomstick.
