Despar Teatro Italia
Former Italia theatre now Despar supermarket
A much-discussed project, the Ex Teatro Italia in Cannaregio becomes a sales outlet of the well-known Despar chain. The large auditorium now houses the aisles with the products on display for sale, while the former stage becomes the deli counter: definitely a unique supermarket.

The recovered jewel
The artistic jewel contained in the former theatre passes first of all through the adoption of systems with a reduced environmental impact: the lighting is therefore totally LED and positioned directly inside the shelves, thanks to a great customisation work, so as not to damage the frescoes and the wall structure. The use of low, wooden shelves allows a pleasant visual access to the beauty of the room; the frescoes that occupy the perimeter of the sales area are illuminated from below, concealing the Iris_T luminaires inside the louvers. A metal structure is mounted above the delicatessen counter from where Angular projectors can illuminate the service area as if it were a stage, while the till areas are lit by Loomia which guarantee a homogeneous emission with limited glare thanks to the UGR<19 value of the lamp, which is perfectly suited to installation given the presence of video terminals.
