Sanremo La Pigna
a thousand-year-old village... ...lights up
Narrow lanes, stone arches, stairways.
And a village that now speaks digital. — Sanremo · Old town
La Pigna, with its narrow lanes and stairways climbing up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Costa, is the most authentic soul of Sanremo. It is enjoying a new season thanks to the PINQuA urban regeneration programme, funded by the PNRR, and to a municipal administration that chose to pair architectural restoration with a plan to digitalise the whole district.
Championed by the Councillor for Public Works, Massimo Donzella, the project identified 15 strategic locations in the heart of the old town. This is where we installed and commissioned our smart islands: a single piece of street furniture that brings information, safety, charging and assistance to residents and visitors alike.
Innovation and historic identity
can coexist and enhance each other.
Centuries-old stone.
Clean lines.
No clash.
The islands blend discreetly into the old town,
respecting its character while adding new services.

La Pigna, the story on video
Technic digital islands among the narrow lanes of Sanremo's old town.
La Pigna, at the blue hour
As the old town lights up, the islands stay on: light, information and safety.
From the old town to the sea
La Pigna is not a one-off project. Together with Amaie Energia e Servizi, we installed smart islands along the cycle path of the Parco Costiero della Riviera dei Fiori: 24 km between Sanremo and San Lorenzo al Mare, one of the area's main visitor attractions.
Two complementary projects, one vision: turning public space into a digital experience without ever losing sight of people.
