Even the AIDI National Congress – the Italian Lighting Association – was affected by the pandemic and was forced, for its XIX edition, after a first postponement in October, to renounce to the city of Naples for an Online Webinar, divided into six meetings held between November and December 2020.

The Congress, with the subtitle “THE LIGHT BETWEEN CULTURE AND INNOVATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE“, addressed some issues related to ne
w technologies that allow to design a more effective, flexible, dynamic, energy efficient and high-quality lighting.

Particularly interesting was the session dedicated to urban lighting in the age of Smart Cities, on November 17, during which LIFE-DIADEME was p
resent
ed as an “innovative IoT project of Adaptive Lighting in the Smart
City“. The presentation, by Raffaele Gareri, Director of the Digital Transformation Department of the Municipality of Rome, focused on the most exquisitely technical and experimental features, with particular emphasis on the integration of environmental data collected by DIADEME systems into the City Data Platform, capable to offer innovative information and services to the City Users, citizens and companies.

 A positive feedback to the innovations presented thanks to LIFE-DIADEME project was concretely reflected in the following discussion and in a good number of explanatory questions and answers.
