Corte Martinelli, a late-19th-century villa in Andria with a park of almost 30,000 square metres, lights its colonnade, summerhouse and fountain as separate islands, with dark paving between them.

From the project

Recessed spots light the colonnade, summerhouse and fountain; projectors on the edges of the lawns and on the villa’s window frames add controlled blades of light1. The fittings are 2800K and 3000K1.
