Marco Miglioli

La luce è un elemento fondamentale dello spazio architettonico, un pilastro dello spazio costruito.

Le mie scelte professionali affondano le loro radici nella mia passione per il teatro, per la scenografia e per l’arte. Mi sono quindi formato sia attraverso un uso artistico e scenografico che attraverso un uso tecnico della luce e fin dai primi lavori ho cercato d’integrare queste due anime. 

È proprio alla relazione che intercorre tra luce e architettura che ho indirizzato i miei interessi fin dagli anni in cui ho frequentato l’Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Svizzera, dove mi sono laureato con l’architetto Peter Zumthor. Ho poi sviluppato le mie competenze lavorando in Spagna con la compagnia teatrale “La Fura dels Baus” e a Milano con Marco Filibeck, allora “datore luci” del Teatro alla Scala. Per undici anni ho collaborato con lo studio “Ferrara Palladino Lightscape”.

In sintesi, il mio lavoro consiste nell’illuminare un’architettura o un’opera cercando d’interpretarle, di raccontare una storia, di suggerire emozioni, quindi di scegliere che cosa porre in luce e che cosa in ombra, non solo in grandi opere ma anche in ambienti domestici.

“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.

  • ✨Roundels of the Virgin Mary and Saint Peter. Raphael. 
c. 1500-02. Pen and brown ink over stylus underdrawing. Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin

🖋️ This autograph drawing featuring the half-length figures of the Virgin and Saint Peter highlights how Raphael often created processional crosses during his adolescence. Moreover, the Berlin sheet could be a preparatory sketch for the processional cross housed at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum.
🎨 Through the style and quality of the brushstrokes, the attribution to Raphael Sanzio has been proposed.

  • ✨ "Processional Cross with Franciscan Saints" by Raphael; in the background, reflected in the glass, the "Adoration of the Child" by Fra Bartolomeo della Porta.
New room setup and lighting design. Poldi Pezzoli Museum, Milan

As through our new lighting the color rendering of the golden surface of the cross differed from that of the frames of the paintings displayed in the room, special filters were used to shape the light spectrum so as to harmonize the warm tones of all the golds.

  • “Geo Poletti’s Still Life” 
March, 1 2019 – March 24, 2019
Palazzo Reale in Milan

Objects come to life in a space defined by solids and voids, light and shadow and take on a meaning that goes beyond their practical function.

We wanted to remember their original and “familiar” location. Some unadorned rooms of the “Palazzo Reale” were therefore chosen for their arrangement, in which the lighting of the paintings gives maximum prominence to the works, allowing to half see the rooms, although very beautiful, just from a glimpse.

  • “Geo Poletti’s Still Life” 
March, 1 2019 – March 24, 2019
Palazzo Reale in Milan

“Room 108”. Here, as in other rooms, art works and panels are more illuminated than an architecture that remains in dim light

The exhibition highlights the works as protagonists of their message, without the viewer being distracted by the presence of furnishings and decorations.
