A new light on Santa Maria in Trastevere

depuis 14 Juillet 2020 à 30 Septembre 2020

The precious mosaics and frescoes of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore light up: thanks to the partnership between Acea and Roma Capitale, 51 state-of-the-art LED projectors have been installed in order to enhance the beauty of the church and highlight the architectonic features of the recently restored façade and portico. For the first time in its history, the bell tower is also illuminated on every side.

The tone of the lights, warm and with high color rendering, was devised specifically to blend in with the atmosphere of the century-old neighborhood of Trastevere. The Basilica can now be admired at night and, combining artistic sensitivity and technology, the project contributes to the renovation of the piazza opposite the church and one of the most renowned areas in the Capital. The lighting installation has a sophisticated digital control system connected through Bluetooth, which allows to adjust the intensity of the individual projectors to valorize each architectural element.
