S. RamponiNew Lighting Plant of S. Marco Basilica in Venice S. Volpato ENEL - Società per Azioni, Italy Abstract In the framework of its nation-wide programme entitled "Light for Art", designed literally to "bring to light" works of art that would otherwise remain obscured, ENEL S.p.A. has recently completed a new lighting system for St. Mark's Basilica in Venice entirely replacing the former illumination with state-of-the-art technology. Given the exceptionally delicate nature of the architectural context of the operation, the project presented considerable problems at both its planning and implementation stages, with extensive tests being carried out on site and special solutions being devised for the equipment used.
