Festival Cristofori is a musical event in Padua, Italy dedicated to Bartolomeo Cristofori, the inventor of the piano, who came from Padua. The festival, based on 24 events in different locations nearby Padua, took place from 14th to 26th September.

In line with our values and with our increasing attention towards cultural initiatives, Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems, specializing in applied air conditioning solutions for comfort, process and IT Cooling, decided to support the event.

The 2023 edition has been dedicated to the relationship between Japan and European cultures and has featured the Japan National Orchestra and young artist Mao Fujita playing in Europe for the very first time. Music by Japanese composers from the 20th century to the present day were played by various musical ensembles.

In addition to granting us high visibility in the local area, we got free tickets available for our employees. We distributed 93 free tickets to our employees to attend 15 different concerts, which also contributed to increasing employee engagement. The festival was a big success with over 2.400 tickets sold -+50% with respect to 2022 edition- and 2 events sold out.

We were proud of sponsoring to such an attractive event bridging Japan and Europe as a company of Japanese brand based in Italy.
