  The Elettra Synchrotron, located in Italy near Trieste, has been operating for users since 1994 being the first third generation light source for soft X-rays in Europe. To stay competitive for world-class photon science, a massive upgrade of the storage ring has been planned in 2025. The goal is to build an ultra-low emittance light source with ultra-high brilliance in the same building as the present storage ring. The downtime for installation and commissioning of Elettra 2.0 will last 18 months. In this plan, 20 of the present beamlines should be upgraded and 12 new beamlines are scheduled to be built. In this scenario, also the original beamline interlock and personnel safety systems are going to be upgraded using state of the art technologies. Siemens PLCs will be used for low level control, while higher level applications will be developed using the Tango framework. This work presents and describes the architecture of the future Elettra 2.0 beamline control system named GeCo, Gestione e Controllo in italian.
