Project

Punta della Dogana in Venice. The original, imposing lamppost/lighthouse has been restored to its original position.

A lamppost weighing 1,650 kg, 6.5 m high and surmounted by a 180-cm lantern, it was installed to be clearly visible in the misty lagoon. Produced in the mid-19th century by the Hasselquis foundry of Venice, presumably in a single exemplar, it has been restored by Neri Spa, which also studied the optimal solution for the illumination of the lantern, of large dimensions and of rare elegance.
