The lighting intervention for the bronze copy of the David and its monumental base in Piazzale Michelangelo combines technical rigor with a strong symbolic value.

The RGBW projectors (by Griven) at the base precisely shape the figure of the David, highlighting its anatomy and metallic finish. The choice of purple hue evokes the identity color of Florence, creating a strong visual and cultural link between the monument and the city's nighttime skyline, dominated by Brunelleschi's Dome in the background.
