Puglia

In the pursuit of safeguarding environmental values for the sustainable development of the regional community, the Region actively encourages the reduction of light pollution and the associated energy consumption. This initiative is geared towards the preservation and protection of the natural environment, encompassing both designated territories and areas outside protected natural zones. Any alterations of natural lighting levels, particularly the dispersal of artificial light beyond its designated areas, are classified as light pollution. This classification is particularly applicable when the light is oriented above the horizon line.
