The Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023 project was created as a symbol of hope, pride and revitalisation following the difficult period of the pandemic. For the first time, two cities joined forces to ‘Grow Together’, forming one Italian Capital of Culture.

The opening of BGBS2023 was a memorable event, marking the start of a year full of culture and innovation. The Festival of Lights illuminated both cities with breathtaking shows, creating a magical atmosphere that captivated thousands of people. The Unreel portal, connecting Bergamo and Brescia, was a tangible symbol of unity and connection, making this edition of the Capital of Culture truly unique.

We covered 7 events live, during which our team of photographers, videomakers and social media managers were split between the two cities to report in real time on what was happening, capturing and sharing unforgettable moments with the spectators and creating an immersive and engaging experience for all. We generated great impact and engagement on social media through live coverage of the most exciting events of the year.
