Matitone Bell Tower<\/h1><\/div>

Lecco<\/span>, Italy<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The bell tower of St. Nicol\u00f2, affectionately known as \u2018Matitone\u2019 (big pencil) due to its pointed shape, is one of the main symbols of the city of Lecco.<\/h4><\/div>

Matitone is, among other things, one of the 10 tallest bell towers in Italy and the second tallest in Lombardy: 96 metres high and 380 steps to climb to reach the top.<\/p>\n

The peculiarity of the bell tower is that it is separate from its church. The reason is simple: it is about 200 years younger. The church of St. Nicholas dates back to 1862, while the Matitone dates back to 1882. <\/p>\n

Spacecannon was contacted by engineer Bosisio to solve the bell tower’s lighting problems, caused by a faulty system. Spacecannon’s contribution in this case went beyond simply supplying lamps: we were also consulted for the design, testing and finding a solution for customised brackets.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The products proposed, namely eWHITE-LINE<\/a><\/b><\/span> 1200 and eWHITE-LINE<\/b><\/a> 300 4000K, are perfect for lighting facades and crosses, while for the clock face, the best solution was the NOVA <\/b><\/a>with IP68.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
