After more than a hundred years, the surfaces of the lampposts had greatly deteriorated. Several stages were needed to restore each element to its original state, revealing once more the beauty of the decorations.
The brackets on the tops were either missing or too damaged, so special models were reconstructed, faithful to the original designs. The opportunity was taken to increase the internal diameter of the brackets, allowing the passage of the electric cables which were originally placed externally.

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. These two elements were our principal inspiration: the hat for the hood of the lighting fixture and the broomstick for the base.
