Even Leonardo would have chosen Resinex beacons for the “Porte Vinciane” of Cesenatico protected harbour.
More than 500 years (503) have passed since Leonardo da Vinci studied the way to regulate the flow of a course of water with what we have now called Porte Vinciane (Da Vinci gates), but we are sure that to signal it, if Resinex had been in existence (some of us would have been born within a few years) he would, after a very careful check, have chosen Resinex.
Well, this is what has happened many centuries later, when CMC (Cooperativa Muratori e Cementisti of Ravenna www.cmc.it) created an exceptional reference to the Porte Vinciane in regulating the navigation in the canal port of the Romagna town.
Two Resinex towers, entirely in stainless steel, with a Pharos Marine APRB 288 rotating beacon were installed in the spring of 2005.
They are equipped with remote control lighting and warn boats and ships at sea with a yellow beam (of 4 nautical miles at day and 20 miles at night) of any closure of the gates invented by Leonardo da Vinci many years ago.
We are also sure that Leonardo would have taken the opportunity to put our beautiful towers into one of his frescos. But maybe we are slightly exaggerating.
