Innovation and Modernity at the Barracco Museum
The Barracco Museum is one of the first worldwide to implement LiFi technology.
LiFi, which stands for Light Fidelity, is one of the most advanced and innovative communication systems for wireless data transmission, which uses light modulation. This technology works through a light sequence that is not detectable by the human eye. Not only can LiFi promote our cultural heritage, but it can also enhance the visiting experience of people with disabilities and impaired mobility.
Our work at the Museum is progressing, and soon we will implement a total of 14 points of interest, 9 of which will be in the rooms on the ground and first floors, and 5 of which will be located in the ancient Roman House, in the undergrounds. These points will be illuminated by the LiFi lights and will provide users with a unique and engaging visiting experience.

Cambellotti Museum Becomes Digital Thanks to To Be!
Cambellotti Museum, known for being a place of culture and shared creativity, invested in To Be’s Li-Fi technology to become more innovative, digital, and inclusive.
“The museum is home to sculptures, drawings, books, ceramics, medals, and even posters and letters documenting the bond between Duilio Cambellotti and our territory. At the core of the collection, we find original drawings and sketches, made in tempera, pencil, and china, narrating the creative journey of the “Redenzione dell’Agro” in 1934, realized by the artist for the Latina Government Palace, which today is the prefecture in Piazza Della Libertà.”

The strong tie between To Be and the city of Latina is at the core of our relationship with the museum, with which we share the willingness of bringing innovation to Latina, in a way that could enrich visitors’ experience. LiFi G solutions allow data transmission and information in a specific area through LED light.
Within the Cambellotti Museum, a total of 14 LiFi Zones were installed, that can be recognized thanks to walkable floor signs. These signs also indicate the code associated with the area. Each area corresponds to specific content. One can simply download the related App, allow access to the camera and position their device under the light source to access a new world of multi-media content.
We thank our partners XAL, for choosing lighting bodies, and TecnoElectric for the installations.
Castel Del Monte Chooses LiFi!
The potential applications of LiFi within museums allow the creation of an innovative communication system, providing visitors with a unique and innovative experience. Through LiFi G installations, To Be offers several proximity services that contribute to the promotion of museum exhibitions and our cultural heritage in general.
Castel Del Monte decided to initiate a digitalization process to enrich its visiting experience by creating ties between the digital and the physical. The initiative falls within the Piazza Wi-Fi Italia agreement protocol, signed by the Minister of Economic Development, the Region of Puglia, Alta Murgia National Park, and Infratel Italia. This agreement protocol aims at building solid networks among municipalities, public institutions, big companies, and private organizations handling public outdoor spaces; and at implementing new free Wi-Fi zones through proximity access point installation in cultural points of interest.
The project of innovating the site of Castel Del Monte, one of the most important Italian museums, saw To Be working on the implementation of several LiFi Zones, that, through a specific app, guarantee access to countless multi-media contents.
Barracco Museum: Li-Fi Meets the Ancient World
Li-Fi, an innovative technology that allows fast, secure, and sustainable data transmission, lands at the Barracco Museum in Rome, breaking all traditional patterns and bringing a new kind of visiting experience.
Works to install LiFi solutions are in progress at the Barracco Museum. These solutions will be able to bring a new, engaging, and interactive visiting experience through multimedia content related to the exhibition, which will be directly received on visitors’ devices
This project carries a significant cultural, social and technological value, and it was co-funded by the European Union. QR codes and paper maps are no longer needed: one can simply position their device under the light source illuminating the collection to receive all the additional content.

Li-Fi Arrives to Barracco Museum
Barracco Museum and Li-Fi. Works for the implementation of a new visiting experience have officially started at the Museum of Ancient Sculpture “Giovanni Barracco” in Rome. These changes will be based on Li-Fi and will be funded by Regione Lazio’s contest POR FESR 2014-2020 “L’impresa fa Cultura”.
Through the implementation of our Li-Fi solutions, starting from the main room, it will be possible to enjoy additional content, provided by the Barracco Museum, directly on your mobile phone and other devices. One will simply download the specifically designed app and position their device under the Li-Fi light source.
Li-Fi or Light Fidelity represents one of the most modern and innovative communication systems for wireless data transmission. This process takes place through light modulation, and it works thanks to an emitted light sequence that is not detectable by the human eye.
This technology is not only able to incentivize the fruition of our cultural heritage, but also facilitate the visiting experience for people with disabilities. We are working to make art more inclusive and accessible.
