Along Tuscany&#8217;s southern coastline, where the Ligurian Sea merges with the Tyrrhenian Sea, lies the charming town of Piombino. Ancient sites and buildings reveal its artistic richness and tell its story, starting with the nearby Baratti and Populonia Archaeological Park, which preserves evidence of the Etruscan period, as well as the Necropolis of the Caves, dating back to the Hellenistic period. The Fonte dei Canali di Marina, constructed in the mid-13th century by the renowned sculptor Nicola Pisano, was designed to provide water to the city and port through dragon and horse-shaped outlets. The Casa delle Bifore, now housing the city&#8217;s historical archive, was built a few decades later, towards the end of the 13th century. The Tuscan genius Leonardo da Vinci visited Piombino during the rule of Cesare Borgia. While there, he undertook various projects related to fortifications, with a particular focus on the Porto Antico, the ancient port, also known as the Porticciolo di Marina. Today, this area is specifically used for boat mooring.
However, one of Piombino&#8217;s strengths lies in its role as a port city. Over the last century, various port activities, including the handling of goods for both national and international markets, as well as passenger traffic, have been gradually transferred to the main port of Piombino, given its continuous expansion and modernisation. Today, it is the third largest Italian port in terms of passenger flow to Pianosa, the Island of Elba, Sardinia and Corsica, especially during the peak tourist seasons. The port is linked to Piombino&#8217;s numerous steel factories, facilitating industrial and commercial activities in the area.
Due to a significant rise in the port&#8217;s operations, its facilities needed urgent upgrading. This also included modernising its lighting installations, entrusting the task to illuminate passage areas and quaysides to Disano luminaires.
Drawing on its expertise in illuminating diverse infrastructure, the Italian lighting manufacturer chose Giovi and Mini Giovi streetlights distinguished by their high-quality luminous flux, stability (flicker-free), and excellent colour rendering index. LED sources are the only way to effectively decrease polluting emissions and achieve a substantial reduction in energy costs, confirming Disano&#8216;s dedication to aligning with the principles of the green economy.
Furthermore, these fixtures can be integrated with sophisticated lighting management systems for real-time control and diagnosis of the entire installation, providing a valuable enhancement in terms of efficiency and eco-sustainability.
The Disano lighting solution guarantees optimal visibility, enhanced safety, and utmost visual comfort in every area of the Piombino port. This ensures a secure and safe environment for workers and visitors alike.
