BBC NEWS | Europe | Italy village gets ’sun mirror’
A sun-deprived village in the Italian Alps has come up with a novel solution to fix the problem - by installing a giant mirror.The mirror - an eight-by-five metre (26×16ft) sheet of steel - was placed on a nearby peak to reflect sunlight onto Viganella’s main square below.
what I don’t exactly get is why you would want sunlight in the main square? is it alot of light? does the center of the town glow now and people go huddle there when they want to feel the sunlight on their skin? is that worth 100,000 Euros ?
