Entry DescriptionThis cathedral was built thanks to the offerings of the believers following some miracles of 1596, linked to an image of the Virgin that stood in the area
The interior, in the style of the late Renaissance, is striking for the richness of the marbles and the sumptuous frescoes
The lighting technique used can be defined as "structural mimetic"
“Structural” because the light, even if materially inconsistent, determines the perception of the illuminated architecture
"Mimetic" because positioning yourself in the privileged observation point, the center of the Cathedral and turning your gaze 360 ° in the fully illuminated Cathedral, you will not see any lamp
Yet there are 380 LED lamps, positioned at 5-8-16-26-44m high and distributed over 12 DMX-RDM digital lines
By scanning the QR codes placed at the artistically most significant points, visitors can access the relevant artwork page, and will also see it perfectly illuminated, but for a limited time that does not penalize its conservation
During Covid, you can avoid either tourist guides and crowds
The lighting system can also be remotely managed, either for diagnosing any problems and for modifying the programmed scenarios and setup
