Walls of Fosdinovo

The architectural restoration brought back to the ancient splendor the walls of Fosdinovo, hitherto hidden by the vegetation and, consequently, the interpenetration relationship between rock and masonry. Main goal of this project was allowing the reading of the different stratifications and giving life and depth to the walls, trying to highlight the shapes and volumes, with a clear reading of the architectural body to favor, even at night, the central role. The project has enhanced the historical and constructive details with accent lighting, while the color of the light sources has been chosen according to the color of the materials, and to emphasize the play of full and empty spaces. The lighting choices are in solidarity with the intervention of the redevelopment of the architect Antonella Gerini, which aims to guarantee the survival and usability of the entire area concerned.
