Illuminazione affreschi Cappella Bacci
The Chapel Maggiore of the Basilica of S.Francesco, frescoed by Piero Della Francesca, was reopened to the public after its restoration in April 2000. The project needed to succeed in guaranteeing optimal lighting conditions whether from the point of view of uniformity in lighting or from that of conservation. The project finally foresaw the advent of a removable element placed on the ground at the center of the frescoed space. This idea was examined from a technical lighting standpoint by selecting the light sources most suitable to the correct perception of colours and verifying the geometries of the light at each frescoed area whether through experiments on site or simulations with scale models. The central lighting element, was a synthesis of lighting outlets, orientation and cooling technology, and the expected formal aesthetics for its insertion into the interior of the Chapel. The platform housed all the universal joints for the various orientations of the light source.
