1. Project: Luminarie de Cagna
About the project
Project: Cupola
Location: Stationsplein
Last year the Demer was dominated by Luminarie De Cagna, this year they focus on the square outside the Grand Central Station. There a dome will rise which resembles a building from the Italian Renaissance, such as St Peter in Rome, because of its size and shape. With its 25 metres height and 20 metres width the dome in Eindhoven is a true spectacle and an impressive entrance for visitors to the city.
In the radiant middle of the 30,000 lights is the bronze statue of Anton Philips from 1951. In the first half of the twentieth century, Anton was more than thirty years in charge of the Philips group and let it develop into a successful multinational. With Cupola Luminarie de Cagna brings during Philips 120-year anniversary, a tribute to a man who was for years not just a figurehead of Philips, but also of the city of Eindhoven.
Luminarie De Cagna is an Italian family concern that was founded in 1930. Then the firm illuminated buildings and squares on festive occasions with oil and carbide lamps. Soon they switched to electric lights and since 2006 they use for new projects LED's only. The LED’s are chained into great curtains of light or mounted on a wooden structure. In this way, whole streets and even squares are fully lightened.

The island of San Giulio (in Piedmontese ìsola ëd San Giuli , in Lombard isola de San Giuli ) is the only island of Lake Orta and is part of the municipality of Orta San Giulio , in the province of Novara , in Piedmont .
Geography
It is located approximately 400 meters from the shore, 275 m long and 140 m wide, and with a perimeter of approximately 650 m. There is a small inhabited center in which the buildings of greatest historical importance are the Basilica of San Giulio and the Mater Ecclesiae Abbey , built on the ruins of an ancient castle and which occupies most of the surface of the island. Currently the island is permanently inhabited by only a few families, in addition to the monastery. For the rest they are almost all second homes, inhabited for a few weeks a year.
History
Archaeological investigations have demonstrated the antiquity of human presence, attested from the Neolithic to the Iron Age . According to the legend of the life of San Giulio in Roman times, the site was abandoned. It is possible however, although archaeological evidence is lacking, that the island was a pre-Christian cult centre. This would explain both the reason why the evangelist decided to build the first church there, around 390 , and the symbol overshadowed by the legendary infestation of snakes and dragons. Such reptiles would therefore be an allegory of Evil and, in this specific case, according to the Christians of those times, of paganism . Archaeological investigations have highlighted the remains of an ancient church, dated between the end of the 5th and 7th centuries , providing a historical basis for the Legend .
San Giulio island seen from Madonna del Sasso
According to tradition, it was Onorato , the seventh bishop of Novara who in the 6th century recognized the strategic position of the island, and in general of the area of Lake Orta, as a defensive bulwark against a possible invader coming from the Simplon and heading towards the Novara plains. Recent archaeological investigations have highlighted that the island began to be fortified between the 5th and 6th centuries . In the 11th century it was described by Arnulf as an impregnable municipium . According to a still debated tradition, the castrum built by Onorato is identified as the castle on the island mentioned by the poet and bishop of Pavia Ennodius ( lib. II Carm .).
The castle incorporated the remains of the church built by San Giulio inside a tower later transformed into a prison.
In the Lombard era the island was certainly fortified and, according to the testimony of Paolo Diacono , Duke Mimulfo resided there , defined as "ducem de insula Sancti Iuliani" (or Julii ) , Mimulfo was beheaded there in 590 on orders of Agilulf because he was found guilty of treason for having facilitated (or at least not prevented) the transit of Audoaldo, leader of the King of the Franks Childebert II . During excavations carried out in 1697, a stone sarcophagus was found containing a headless skeleton and with an inscription "MEINUL..." which had already disappeared in the 19th century. The sarcophagus is located at the entrance to the basilica and is now used for offerings. .
For almost four centuries there were no mentions of the island, it was mentioned in 957 when, following conflicts with the bishop-counts of Novara, Berengar II, king of Italy , barricaded himself there together with his son Adalbert . The two were besieged by Liudolf , son of Otto I, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, called for help by the bishop-counts. Berengar was defeated but upon the death of Liudolf he regained power until the conquest of Pavia (961) by Otto I. Berengar retreated to the fort of San Leo while his wife Willa took refuge on the island, taking with her all the treasures kept in the palace of Pavia. While waiting for a long siege, the fortifications were increased and the castle was surrounded by walls called "the queen's wall".
The siege of the island began in May 962, after the occupation of the castles on the coast, all access to the island was blocked and it resisted the continuous attacks of the imperial fleet for two months. Once Willa was defeated, Otto II took possession of the treasures but left the queen free to join her husband in San Leo. Otto agreed to baptize a child born during the siege, son of Perinzia (sister of Arduino d'Ivrea ) and one of the defenders of the island, Roberto da Volpiano. The child, who was given the same name as the son of Emperor William Archbishop of Mainz, would later become Abbot William of Volpiano .
The act with which Otto II returned the island to the bishop-counts and at the same time donated two courts in the Pombia county to the canons of the island, imposing daily prayers on their behalf, dated 29 July 962. This document, kept in the sacristy of the Basilica of San Giulio, is the first official document attesting to the bishop's dominion over the Riviera of San Giulio . The island was inherited by Emperor Frederick I Hohenstaufen , known as Barbarossa, through his mother, heir of the Saxon and Bavarian emperors.
From 1219 the Bishops of Novara assumed full sovereignty over the territory of the Riviera di San Giulio , of which the island was the religious and administrative centre, as a fideicommiss from the Swabians . However, economic activities gradually moved towards the nearby village of Orta , which during the 17th century ended up giving its name to the lake, which in the Middle Ages was known as Lake San Giulio. The occupation of the castle played a decisive role during the turbulence that saw the inhabitants of the Riviera fiercely defend their freedom against the raids of the mercenary militias coming from the nearby Duchy of Milan in the first half of the sixteenth century .
In 1560 the population opposed the attempted enfeoffment by the Bishop of Novara Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni in favor of a family close to him. From that moment on, following protests sent to Rome, the Novara bishops were forced to swear not to cede any part of the territory. This episode also marks the beginning of the slow decline of the power of the bishop-counts.
During the eighteenth century the entire Novara area came under the dominion of the Savoy Kingdom , and in September 1767 the inhabitants of the Riviera swore loyalty to the king in the bishop's palace on the island. The Bishops of Novara however maintained the administrative role of the territory with the title of Princes of San Giulio and Orta until 1817, definitively losing all feudal privileges in 1819.
In 1841 the medieval castle was demolished to make way for the new large Episcopal Seminary , designed by the Lombard architect Ferdinando Caronesi .
A pedestrian street runs along the entire perimeter of the island, skirting the ancient houses of the canons and one of the oldest was owned by Cesare Augusto Tallone , builder of artisanal pianos and tuner of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli . Every year a popular concert series is held there. Along the pedestrian street there are aphorisms on silence and meditation in several languages .
In 1973 , a Benedictine monastery, the Mater Ecclesiae Abbey , was founded on the island , where important research, studies and translations of ancient texts are carried out. The monastery also has a restoration laboratory and research and study center on ancient fabrics. For some years the monastery has been located in the former seminary.
Culture
Cinema
The island of San Giulio was chosen for filming the film The correspondence of Giuseppe Tornatore . The ancient village in the film is called "Borgo Ventoso" and there are numerous scenes on the shores of the lake, to and from the island.
Literature
Gianni Rodari 's short novel There Was Twice Baron Lamberto , or The Mysteries of the Island of San Giulio, is set on the island of San Giulio .
The island is mentioned several times in the book Numero zero by Umberto Eco , which ends with the sentence: "The island of San Giulio will blaze again in the sun ".
Stories and legends of the island are mentioned, being a tourist destination for the Gibella, in Alpinisti ciabatoni by Achille Giovanni Cagna .

With Cupola Luminarie de Cagna brings during Philips 120-year anniversary, a tribute to a man who was for years not just a figurehead of Philips, but also of the city of Eindhoven.
Luminarie De Cagna is an Italian family concern that was founded in 1930. Then the firm illuminated buildings and squares on festive occasions with oil and carbide lamps. Soon they switched to electric lights and since 2006 they use for new projects LED's only. The LED’s are chained into great curtains of light or mounted on a wooden structure. In this way, whole streets and even squares are fully lightened.
