Inaugurated the second edition of "Noor Riyadh," one of the largest events in the world dedicated to light art installations. The festival is one of the sub-programs of Riyadh Art, and certainly to date it is its most visible manifestation, while waiting for the installation and construction work of the dozens of permanent artworks, the most important part of the program in which our company plays the role of Program Management Office, to begin as well.

Until Nov. 19, more than 190 works created by 130 artists from 40 countries will light up the city in dozens of locations, inspired by the theme "We Dream of New Horizons": an exhortation to keep our spirits high and optimistic about the future, and also a bridge to different cultures, as admirably represented by the work "Vertical Horizon" by Roman studio Quiet Ensamble, which directly connects Riyadh with Rome. The work consists of two giant interactive panels - tilted as if they were the two ends of an imaginary line that crosses the earth and directly connects the two cities - that project sounds and colors according to what is happening around the sister work, thousands of kilometers away.

The "Noor Riyadh" festival is accompanied by more than five hundred events throughout the city, aiming to illuminate the Saudi capital, engage the local community and attract fans and tourists from all over the world.
The opening ceremony, which culminated in a light show of more than 2,000 drones, was attended by leading Saudi institutional figures who welcomed an audience of international guests, including our president Umberto Sgambati, Carla Mason, Corporate Functions Coordination Manager, Nicola Radice, Saudi Arabia Branch Manager, and a representation of colleagues engaged on the Riyadh Art project.
