Re-Launching Luigi Broglio
Experience the project and history of Luigi Broglio, the pioneer of Italian space development!
Dive into the legend of Luigi Broglio - who audaciously catapulted Italy into the cosmos from the first space base built on an equatorial sea platform in the 60s. Within a 360° theater, audiences become voyeurs to a duel between Broglio and journalist Tristano Malaugurio, two prisoners of fading memory trapped in the ghostly command center of Kenya's San Marco space station. Through interviews and flashbacks, we plunge into the African expedition, the explosive encounter with oil giant Enrico Mattei, a near-diplomatic crisis with President Nasser, and a jaw-dropping climax to rewrite history. A group of Italian mavericks daring to compete with the space superpowers. This saga proves that the most impossible dreams ignite into reality when courage meets creativity and determination. Luigi Broglio inspires minds and warms hearts, which is why he deserves to be re-launched!
