For over 50 years, Onlight PF, founded by Franco Pozzi in Capriate San Gervasio (BG), has been designing and creating decorative lighting for Christmas celebrations in various towns and cities across Northern Italy. Their installations evoke emotions, tell stories, and transform physical spaces into scenes of wonder and warmth, where light becomes a universal language that speaks directly to the heart.

The connection between Nicola Colombo, Onlight PF, and Christmas design is subtle yet pervasive.
