  • ✨ Fondazione Pini. Grand Staircase 

The grand staircase of Fondazione Pini serves as the main entrance to the noble floor of what was once the home and studio of painter Renzo Bongiovanni Radice. Today, this space has been converted into a museum that preserves its original domestic spirit and keeps the memory of the artist alive.

Following meticulous pictorial and structural restoration works, the grand staircase has been illuminated primarily by a custom-designed lantern that recall those found in the stairwells of historic Italian noble palaces.
A soft, dynamic light enhances the frescoed ceiling, creating an atmosphere suspended between past and present.

  • The illiterate or woman writing a letter for her maid. Odoardo Borrani. Oil on canvas (detail)
1869. Private collection
  • ✨ @poldipezzoli Museum 
“Visconti Venosta” Room – “Raphael Cross” Room. 
Detail of the room featuring the panel "Madonna with Child and Saint John the Baptist" by Pinturicchio, with Christ the Redeemer and the panel "Madonna with Child and Saints" by Zanobi Strozzi in the background.

💡 Museum lighting requires precise calibration of light intensities throughout the rooms. The lighting of the Raphael Cross led to a re-arrangement and fine-tuning of the entire exhibition hall and the works of art.

  • ✨Processional Cross with Franciscan Saints. Raphael. Tempera on panel (detail). 
c. 1500-1502
@poldipezzoli Museum, Milan

Through the new lighting we designed, the artwork appears brighter and more luminous, resembling a piece of fine goldsmithing. The punched decorations, gilded reliefs, and Raphael's colors now stand out in their full three-dimensionality.

🔎 On the back of the cross, four busts of Franciscan saints are painted within roundels, suggesting that the original destination of the processional cross was a convent of this order.

  • ✨@poldipezzoli Museum, Milan. 
“Visconti Venosta” Room - “The Raphael Cross” Room, featuring in the foreground the "Processional Cross with Franciscan Saints" by Raphael Sanzio.

The Cross, an artwork between painting and sculpture, was placed within an architecture which, through a succession of spaces, gives a sense of depth, recalling the sequences of rooms in noble Renaissance palaces. The paintings, displayed in these rooms, not only underline the depth but are enhanced by a common golden background.
