Emotions in the sky: the Brugherio hot air balloon company

The event is organized in collaboration with the Compagnia della Mongolfiera di BRUGHERIO . The first human-assisted hot air balloon flight in Italy dates back to 1784, the fruit of an Enlightenment vision by Count Paolo Andreani. The event marked the beginning of Italian aviation in the Lombardy town of Brugherio.

Even today, the Company continues to bring a “traveling” hot air balloon to cities in Italy and abroad. For this occasion, in Santa Caterina, it will be possible to board in “tethered flight” mode anyone, including children, who wish to experience the thrill of soaring into the sky, carried by a large, colorful balloon. Meanwhile, on the ground, the educational hot air balloon will be inflated. Inside, visitors will be greeted by friendly guides dressed in late 18th-century costumes who, along with balloon experts, will share stories, curiosities, and, of course, all the secrets of how the hot air balloon works.

A truly fascinating world to discover and experience together!
