Borromini Salon of Vallicelliana Library of Rome shines with a new light. After the recent restauration in 2016, Biblioteca needed a correct illumination, to enhance its important architectural context. The client’s needs were satisfied by means of 18 floodlights R1 110W, with the colour temperature 3000K and a symmetric lens 90°, installed at the foot of every column and hidden from the original library on the mezzanine.

A particular thanks for the precious collaboration to the estimated Director of the Library, Doc. Paola Paesano.
