The collection of 20th-century paintings on display in the Rectorate's halls has just been enhanced with new lighting. 

Two levels of light interact and illuminate the space, creating a skilful balance of contrasts: general lighting to guide visitors through the exhibition, and lighting focussed on each individual work to show it at its best. 

Thanks to this new lighting, reflections are no longer visible on the paintings, and through wireless controls, the amount of light can be adjusted according to the maximum annual illuminance requirements of each work, optimising their conservation. 

The high-quality LEDs do not emit UV or infrared rays, making them particularly suitable for preventing deterioration of the works, ensuring maximum colour rendering, energy saving and prolonging their life. 

The project was overseen by Ilaria Garofolo, former Deputy Rector for Energy and Building Management, under the supervision of UniTS Office for Utilities and Facilities.
