Piazza San Domenico, Bologna – A Historic Landmark Illuminated by Lumascape
Piazza San Domenico, one of Bologna’s most historically and architecturally significant squares, now shines in a new light with Lumascape’s precision-engineered luminaires. This project enhances the beauty of the iconic Basilica of San Domenico, a masterpiece of medieval and Renaissance architecture, along with the historic monuments that define the square.
Lighting That Honors History
As a place of cultural and artistic importance, Piazza San Domenico houses the Arche dei Glossatori, ornate tombs of medieval scholars, and a central column featuring the statue of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order. These monuments, along with the basilica’s intricate façade, required a lighting solution that balances aesthetic elegance and technical precision, bringing out every architectural detail while respecting the site's historical essence.
