F.LIGHTS UP is a large-scale urban light programme developed by the City of Florence in collaboration with Fondazione MUS.E, with support from the Ministry of Tourism’s UNESCO Sites and Creative Cities Fund and local institutional partners.
The project transforms the city into a visual laboratory, where the façades of its most iconic monuments become three-dimensional surfaces for light-based interventions. Through video mapping and light installations, digital technologies enter into dialogue with architectural heritage, combining innovation with traditional craftsmanship.
Key sites include Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Church of San Paolino, alongside installations in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, Piazza San Lorenzo, the Chamber of Commerce, and Palazzo Medici Riccardi. Across the Christmas period, the programme redefines the urban landscape, engaging both residents and visitors through a continuous interplay of light, space, and perception.
