Studio Festi is an
Italian artistic project and production centre bringing into being shows and grand installations.
Founded in 1982, by
Valerio Festi and
Monica Maimone, Studio Festi operates from its main offices in Velate (
Varese, Italy), its workshop in
Venegono Superiore (Varese) and, in 2010, it set up a branch in
São Paulo, Brazil.
Studio Festi's artistic activity covers three main areas:
outdoor shows
installations of lights, also called architectures of light due to their unique features
concerts for fireworks with live orchestra
The poetry characterising Studio Festi's work is linked to a reinterpretation of traditional city festivals through the invention of stage machines that take inspiration from the Italian Baroque and through the representation of ancient rituals like that of the Italian "parata" (parade).[1][2]
Studio Festi has organized large-scale celebrative events in many Italian cities as well as internationally.[3][4]
Works
La luce italiana, lights architecture in the occasion of Italy in Houston 1987[5]
La nascita della bellezza (The birth of beauty), Rome, 2007, the show was part of the celebrations for the 45th anniversary of
Valentino Garavani's career. The evening is witnessed by
Valentino: The Last Emperor, a feature-length documentary produced and directed by
Matt Tyrnauer[65]
