Falling Lights
Hotel Cappello d'Oro's facade, viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, 12.
Sara Benaglia e Situ Eventi
Six luminous columns of warm light reinterpret the architecture of the facade’s two propylaea in a minimalistic style. By repeating a common architectural motif, the installation opens a historical dialogue between the two structures. A golden QR code on the illuminated hotel facade invites visitors to access a tale about its history....

Located in the heart of Bergamo, Hotel Cappello D’Oro is a treasure trove of intact beauty, steeped in the city’s history. Its name evokes an ancient tradition, with its most iconic feature being a gilded top hat adorned with real diamonds displayed in the hotel lobby—a gift from Giuseppe Borsalino in 1930 as a gesture of gratitude for the hotel’s exceptional hospitality.
