The potential for developing compact, high-brightness particle and radiation sources has significantly advanced laser technology, particularly by enhancing laser efficiency and repetition rates. This progress is evident in the new generation of ultra-fast, high-power laser systems operating at high repetition rates, which have been installed across the world. A new high-power laser facility, "I-LUCE" (INFN Laser Induced Radiation Acceleration), is currently entirely under construction at LNS-INFN (Laboratori Nazionali del Sud – Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) in Catania, Italy. This paper provides an overview of the I-LUCE facility, highlighting its main features and potential. It also includes a detailed description of the beamline designed for proton and ion beam transport and selection, as well as a thorough description of the diagnostic and dosimetric systems developed for dosimetric and radiobiological applications.
