Historic Italian Abbey Wall Light in Patinated Brass and Copper Abbazia 8220
by
Aldo Bernardi
Description
This exclusive outdoor wall light is traditionally handcrafted in the style of the 1930s, showcasing exceptional quality in every meticulously crafted detail. Despite its elegant and delicate appearance, it is engineered to withstand the elements, making it an ideal choice for illuminating front doors, entranceways, and pathways around the home.
The hemispherical cast brass wall plate features the Aldo Bernardi logo, decorative capped cable entries for optional surface-mounted wiring, and ornamental cap nuts. From the wall plate extends a beautifully crafted brass arm supporting a cylindrical glass holder made of patinated copper with finely detailed set screws. Four brass support rods are attached to a brass ring, holding the gently domed saucer-shaped shade in place. Beneath it, a hand-blown opal glass globe with a cylindrical neck provides soft, evenly diffused illumination.
Each luminaire is handcrafted in Italy from solid brass and copper. A carefully applied patinated finish protects the surface from the elements, ensuring lasting durability while enhancing the fixture’s distinctive character and timeless appeal.

Aldo Bernardi is one of Italy’s most renowned lighting designers and artisan manufacturers. Since the early 1970s, the workshop in Paderno del Grappa, Northern Italy, has been creating exceptional indoor and outdoor lighting that combines traditional craftsmanship with premium materials and timeless design.
Bernardi luminaires are distinguished by the enduring quality of ceramic, solid brass, and copper—materials chosen for their durability, even in outdoor environments. Hand-applied patinas, meticulously crafted details, and a distinctive design language define every collection. Alongside classical and early industrial influences, Bernardi’s work reflects the Mediterranean country-house style that is characteristic of its native region.
In recent years, the workshop has also introduced contemporary outdoor lighting collections that stand alongside its iconic, historically inspired designs. They embody the same uncompromising standards of material quality, genuine craftsmanship, and Italian design culture, remaining true to the philosophy that has guided the company from the beginning: only the very best is good enough.
