In Mantua, Andrea Mantegna ’s Bridal Chamber becomes the center of an experiment on advanced museum lighting. The project SLiM - Smart Lighting in Museums: Development of an Innovative Light-Sensing and Adaptive Control System for Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, an initiative developed as part of the Alta Scuola Politecnica of the Politecnico di Milano and the Politecnico di Torino, is starting at Palazzo Ducale.
The goal is the realization of an intelligent lighting system capable of integrating natural and artificial lighting in real time, with conservation and enhancement purposes for the frescoed heritage. The project focuses on the Camera Picta, a fresco cycle executed by Andrea Mantegna between 1465 and 1474 inside the Ducal Palace in Mantua.
