"From up here, the Earth is beautiful, without borders or boundaries" - Jurij Gagarin, the first man to fly in space.

Space has always been the frontier of human exploration and dreams. 

From September 30 to October 3, 2021, the Space Festival - Gioco, Scienza, Fantascienza, the first Italian festival dedicated to space and the divulgation of space sciences, was held. Four days packed with lectures with astronauts and astrophysicists, workshops, concerts, film screenings, performances, stargazing, panel discussions, flash mobs, starry exhibitions and world-class dinners for what was the city's first major event in the post-Covid era.

The public’s response was extraordinary, with all events sold out after only a few days of campaigning. The city was filled with the colors of space, with more than 400 poster spots throughout the urban network. 

Creostudios was a co-promoter of the initiative and oversaw the organization of the event, from creating the visual of the event with the design of online and offline materials, to designing and managing the activities that brought the Festival to life. The artistic direction was done by Marco Berry, who has always been a massive fan of space exploration and dreams of becoming one of the first civilians to go into space. 

So, why in Turin? Because Turin is the city of space. Our city is home to one of the world's most important ecosystems of aerospace companies and research hubs, capable of establishing itself internationally as a significant player in the design and construction of everything that orbits our planet. 

Many partners, both public and private, were involved in the initiative: from the Planetarium of Turin to the Astronomical Observatory, from the Aero Club to the Polytechnic University of Turin, from the Piedmont Aerospace District to important companies such as Altec and Thales Alenia Space. 

The initiative was a huge success. It was beautiful to see the tremendous participation and enthusiasm from the companies involved, brought together to create an incredible event.
