Santa Cristina della Fondazza is one of the most beautiful churches if the city of Bologna: an eight hundred year old gem. Rebuilt in 1602, at the end of its single nave it has a presbytery, thanks to which the architectural structure has wonderful acoustics, and sound is propagated with extraordinary clarity. The church is also used all year as an auditorium and hosts extremely valuable works of art. |
Scenographic lighting During a recent restoration, the interior lighting was also revolutionized, adopting a set-up based almost exclusively on LED fixtures. With this choice, really unusual for a church, Bigi+Gregoli studio managed to meet different indispensable requirements: highlighting a unique artistic heritage, creating atmospheres suited to the performances, accentuating the cultural role of a consecrated building and keeping its sacredness intact. In fact, the LED LINE fixtures provide light that is: "clean", free from ultraviolet rays that could damage the works of art; adjustable as far as colour temperature is concerned, thanks to the RGB colour mixing system, with which the tones most suited to the atmosphere can be set; able to be customized according to the colour and form of each painting, statue or architectural element. After careful selection, SGM was chosen among the sector’s most innovative companies and (through Volume Srl) supplied all the equipment used for the system: 24 Palco 5, 1 Ribalta and 38 Genio Mobile, plus 4 Giotto Wash moving head units and a Pilot 3000 console, used to program and control all the lights. | The result
The fixtures are mounted along the perimeter cornice, at a height of eleven metres, with a low-impact installation involving absolutely no type of masonry work. Divided into groups, they are concentrated on various sectors of the church, towards which they are aimed (the main altar, the organ, the statues in the niches, the nave environment, etc.) and they create looks studied according to the varying requirements of the auditorium. The system guarantees minimum consumption and running costs compared to those of any other light source.
