International Day of Light
May 16th, 2025
This year, Brixen Tourism has once again renewed its connection with artist Stefano Cagol, reaffirming his central role in the celebrations for the International Day of Light. The city of Bressanone, long dedicated to contemporary art and the dialogue between innovation and tradition, welcomes the artist once more, this time with a visionary and symbolic project: We Own the Futures.
This new collaboration highlights the importance of light as an element of unity and collective reflection, a light that goes beyond mere representation to become a symbol of connection between the past, present, and future.
The event will be a cultural and symbolic highlight of great significance for the city, an opportunity to look to the future with awareness and hope, accompanied by the art of Stefano Cagol, a shared, luminous, and inclusive vision.
