The big ‘R’ echoing the famous graphics of Adolfo Busi lights up the new ‘Parco del Mare’. The lamp post we’ve manufactured is ten meters high and draws the letter ‘R' of Rimini, recalling the style of the famous Bolognese artist, who – in 1929 – signed one of the most famous bathing resort posters created to promote the city.

Antonio Neri
The project, born from the idea of strongly characterising the identity of Rimini’s seafront public space, have been developed according with design directions given by Barcelona architectural practice Miralles Tagliabue, that defined public and private interventions’ guidelines.
On top of light intensity dimming, every single lamp post is also equipped with 360º CCTV camera and Wi-Fi.

Preserving History: The New Light of Sulmona
Sulmona, Italy
In Sulmona, during the historic Good Friday procession, the hand-carried lanterns held by the young members of the Confraternity of the Holy Trinity have been a recognizable symbol for centuries. But behind their elegance lay a concrete issue: the risk posed by fire and glass over more than four hours of continuous use. In 2022, the Confraternity turned to Neri to find a solution that was safe — yet invisible. The result? An LED system powered by a single battery for each lantern, ensuring full autonomy and safety without altering the original appearance. The warm glow of candlelight was precisely recreated thanks to a custom LED filter; the spheres were reproduced in polyethylene using 3D printing, and the golden leaves were carefully restored to their original brilliance.
Matera, new lighting for a timeless heritage
Matera, Italy
Matera, the City of Stones, has been transformed with Neri’s SN100C LED luminaires, part of an ambitious energy upgrade by City Green Light S.r.l. in 2024. The switch from yellow sodium lamps to clear, warm LED lighting has enhanced the city’s beauty, highlighting spaces once lost in darkness and creating a more welcoming atmosphere. By day, SN100C blends seamlessly with the warm tones of Matera’s ancient stone, while by night, it illuminates the historic landscape with clarity and elegance. From the alleys to the grand cathedral, Neri’s lighting brings out the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site like never before.
