The inception of luci fuori

We are two friends born and raised in Locarno, Ticino, Switzerland. After having been best friends during primary school, our paths diverged until 2022, when Tiziano came back to Switzerland after several experiences abroad. We immediately felt lucky to discover that, despite the almost 20 years without being in contact, our passions and values were very similar and aligned. Among those, we both love attending festivals and events, and we both appreciate our home country and what it offers.

During a train ride to Milan in May 2023, we had our first discussion regarding the idea to organize an event. Our passions and values helped to quickly come up with a high-level concept and a lot of enthusiasm. Thanks to Nicolò’s involvement (a close friend of ours) and his creative mind, we were able to move from a nice yet abstract idea, to a concept which in our eyes looked intriguing and innovative for a curious and driven audience looking for a new and different offer in Zurich. And now we are off to the next stage, trying to bring the event in Miami!
