KITE Engineering carried out the energy-efficient lighting upgrade for the park of Villa Grimani, Vendramin, Calergi, Valmarana, a splendid historic villa in Noventa Padovana, whose main structure dates back to the 18th century, with origins in the 15th century.

The project was funded by the European Union (NGUE – PNRR) and approved by the Municipality of Noventa Padovana, the Special Superintendency for the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the Superintendency for Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape of the Metropolitan Area of Venice and the provinces of Belluno, Padua, and Treviso, as well as the Regional Agency for Environmental Prevention and Protection of Veneto (ARPAV).

The intervention involved replacing the outdated lighting system, which no longer complemented the villa’s 18th-century character. The new installation features recessed ground-mounted LED spotlights emitting warm light (3000K), designed to create artificial illumination as close to natural light as possible.

The project aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at protecting and enhancing the historic and artistic value of the entire complex. The new park lighting offers an integrated, reversible, and non-invasive solution, carefully coordinated with the geometric layout of the boxwood beds that frame the gravel path and surrounding plantings.
