To mark the opening of the Holy Door on 7 December 2015, Piazza San Pietro and Via della Conciliazione, a gathering place for thousands of faithful from all over the world, were lit up using more than 100 LED lamps, with an energy saving of 60%.
All lighting points are equipped with a mechanism for varying the diffusion of lighting according to the conditions of darkness or on special occasions, based on a functional approach. For example, whenever there are large gatherings of crowds, the overall lighting of the urban and architectural spaces can be increased, with important effects in terms of night-time visibility and safety.
