The lighting design conceived by
ENEL X Architectural Lighting Team provides for smart and technologically advanced management of the entire system. Owing to the use of wireless devices for the transmission of the DMX signal, it has been possible to preserve the structural integrity of the building as much as possible, while ensuring the minimum visual impact. Located in the control room, the DMX WALL-TSC control system, with 1024 output channels and the capability of storing 500 scenes in 10 different zones, allows the simultaneous management of all the lighting fixtures through one signal transmitter, three receivers and one repeater located in strategic areas. The use of a DMX 512 protocol signal, transmitted via wireless on dedicated and encrypted frequencies, has avoided invasive excavations for the passage of cables, preserving the aesthetics of the historical building. Furthermore, to ensure maximum discretion, all the lighting fixtures have been supplied in white or anthracite RAL according to their different positioning, in a custom version specific for the Italian market.
According to different occasions, it is now possible to illuminate the façade of Palazzo Chigi in the colors of the Italian flag, reproducing the
Tricolore on its entire surface whenever required. The initiative, promoted on the occasion of the 159th anniversary of the Unification of Italy and repeated in 2020 to symbolize the strength of the Italian people in a very hard period, aims to reinforce the values of unity, responsibility and solidarity typical of the entire national community.
