The right intuition, a hint of recklessness, a few allies ready to take risks, et voila: the event is served.
Maurizio Vegini, artistic director of Christmas Design, and Nicola Viscardi, manager of DUC (Distretto Urbano del Commercio di Bergamo) tell how the exhibition that brings art in in the streets and squares of Bergamo was born, closing the year of Bergamo Brescia 2023 Capital of Culture with a bang. Together with the two creators of the event, Mayor Giorgio Gori explains why he believed in this cultural project.

"A Coffee with the Designer" is the podcast that peeps behind the scenes of Christmas Design and tells anecdotes, stories and curiosities related to the exhibition that brings art to the squares of Bergamo from November 25, 2023 to January 7, 2024. It does so through the players’s voices: designers, artists and partner companies who, over a virtual coffee, tell their stories to journalist Federica Capozzi.

"A coffee with the designer" is a podcast as light a chat in a bar. Each episode is dedicated to an installation: use it as an audio guide if you are in Bergamo during Christmas Design days. Anyway, listen to it: a coffee break with creative people is always a good idea!
