The first boats are already berthed at the marina of Capo d’Orlando on Sicily’s north east coast, in front of the Aeolian Islands. This brand new tourist facility is capable of hosting over 500 vessels and all nautical services, as well as stores, restaurants and elegant structures for restaurants, bars and a nautical club. The new complex will be entirely illuminated with Disano lighting products and represents a major infrastructure to increase tourism in a natural and cultural area of outstanding value.

Lighting plays an important role for this type of facility, which is crucial for supporting the growth of tourism. With the new LED fixtures, it is possible to renovate seaside promenades with a lighting system that complies with environmental standards and allows people to enjoy a pleasant and safe seaside walk during the long summer evenings. In a country like Italy, with 7500 km of coast and a wide variety of landscapes, marinas and seaside promenades represent strategic infrastructure.

Nature and culture are two key components of a successful tourism offer like the one you can find in Italy. Italian coastlines are rich in towers, castles and ancient lighthouses that tell the story of the relationship between man and the sea. A lighting system in these areas must draw inspiration from this story to correctly portray the evening image of the architecture in its original setting. The technical possibilities offered by the new LED spotlights facilitate the creativity of lighting designers, without wasting energy.

The choice of lighting fixtures in the areas near the sea must take into account of special technical and aesthetic specificities. The materials and the different components making up the outdoor lights installed at a short distance from the sea need a level of protection capable of resisting to corrosive marine environments. Aesthetic choices are equally important to allow a seamless blending into the surroundings while also respecting the landscape. The lighting fixtures for urban amenities offered by Disano illuminazione provide technically perfect solutions also for seaside promenades.
