It was founded in 1982 by Valerio Festi and Monica Maimone, and it is based in Varese (Italy) and São Paulo (Brazil).

They have also renewed the traditional use of of ritual events like parades and the so called lights architectures. [3]. The two major realizations are: Kobe Lights architecture[4] and the Christmas computer controlled decoration at Galeries Lafayette in Paris.[5] [6]
Studio Festi has develop the concept of "concert for fireworks", combining a classical orchestra live concert with a "in tune" fireworks performance.[7]
