Empoli, a lovely town on the border between Florence and Pisa, is rich in historical and architectural beauty. At the heart of the city is Piazza Farinata degli Uberti, also known as Piazza dei Leoni, named after the imposing stone sculptures, that adorn the central fountain. Our Light 803, mounted on the 4215 brackets, illuminates the streets of the historic center. This modern LED lighting system not only enhances the atmosphere but also highlights the beauty of the surroundings and architecture, while also ensuring greater safety.

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.
Pictor Urban Furniture Enhances Forte dei Marmi’s Cityscape
Essential design, bold character, flexible spirit: the Pictor urban furniture collection, developed in collaboration with the architecture studio Lombardini22, transforms public space into a dynamic and contemporary experience. Benches, planters, litter bins, bike racks, and bollards make up a modular collection designed to interact with any urban context. Each element, whether used individually or in combination, integrates seamlessly into the cityscape, offering endless configurations and visual connections. In Forte dei Marmi, the Pictor collection has taken shape along the town’s shopping streets: planters of various sizes, benches with and without backrests, litter bins, and other elements have created small green rest areas—welcoming and functional.
