Abstract:A combined protocol for lightscape and soundscape assessment was tested in four historical locations along Via dei Fori Imperiali (Rome) to identify whether changes in lighting conditions influence the acoustic perception of urban settings with historic value. Objective data were collected at each location while participants filled the questionnaire for both acoustics and lighting. Although acoustic parameters showed little variation between lighting conditions, perceptual changes were observed.
