Kaleydo for Smile Project: A Charity Gala

The Cattedrale dell’Immagine in Florence hosted an evening in support of Smile Project‘s initiatives in Eritrea. The event paired the photography of Alessandro Moggi with a program of live music, a gala dinner and a charity auction. Kaleydo supported the initiative by handling the entire technical production, from lighting design to the sound system, through to custom-built structures.

Seeing so many people come together in Florence for a common cause is deeply moving. Thanks to the generosity of everyone present, Smile Project can continue to look toward the future of its initiatives in Eritrea with hope and concrete determination. [Elsa Michael, President of Smile Project]

In a setting such as the Cattedrale dell’Immagine, the main challenge was creating a lighting design capable of working in perfect synergy with a predominantly dark space, conceived to host all the video projections. 

The setup covered the entire guest experience, from the outdoor welcome through to the heart of the central nave. For the welcome, we coordinated the performance of a violin duo from our roster of artists, setting the right atmosphere from the very first moments. Managing the sound system and video direction was another focal point of our production: the live performance of pianist Danilo Rea was filmed and relayed throughout the room via remote camera system.

For the gala dinner, catered by Galateo Ricevimenti, Kaleydo designed and built tables with mirrored, antique-finish table tops. To light them, we selected our Excalibur battery-powered table chandeliers, chosen for their elegance and their ability to operate cordless. Finally, the podium for the charity auction was also engineered and custom-built by our team, completing a technical intervention tailored to the specific needs of the event.

Kaleydo’s portfolio brings together the projects that best represent our creative and technical expertise.

Christmas Lights

Christmas takes on a distinct spirit in every place, calling for a design that feels personal and inspired. Kaleydo has brought festive magic to a wide range of settings, from sleek modern hotels to storied medieval villages and elegant period villas. For each project, we let the architecture guide us, shaping the lighting to achieve a site-specific solution. Planning and coordination start well before the holiday season to guarantee smooth, timely and precise installations.  We begin each project with site inspections, where we map the location area with photos and aerial shootings with drones. Walking through the site, we take

A Wedding of Colours

Three days, over 250 guests, one Tuscan village: Kaleydo delivered set design and technical production for a Bianco Bouquet Indian wedding at Il Borro. We customized staging and decor for each celebration, including lunches, dinners, welcome drinks, cocktail parties, gala events, haldi, baraat, and sangeet. [Kaleydo Event Manager] The event took place in a medieval village featuring stone walls, vineyards, olive groves, and over 1,100 hectares of open space. Entertainment was central to the event, with string quartets, singers, DJs, musicians, and bands performing across multiple indoor and outdoor stages. Each area featured dedicated sound systems and tailored audio, video,

Night Party in a Marble Quarry

An open-air party set among the marble quarries in the heart of the Apuan Alps, where thoughtful design elements guided guests from the welcome cocktail at sunset to the end of the party. A wonderful natural backdrop, yet a challenging location for an event setup. Logistics, powering tools, and all equipment, lighting… it was like working on a movie set. [Kaleydo Event Manager] These remarkable settings are more than a backdrop. They can become the starting point for evocative events, whether corporate or private, turning unexpected locations into experiences people feel, remember and care about. Behind that atmosphere was a

Rothko in Florence: Grand Opening Nights

For the Rothko in Florence launch, Kaleydo delivered audio and lighting services for all key events of the Grand Opening Nights, including the inaugural dinner and an exclusive cocktail party with Christopher Rothko, the artist’s son and co-curator of the Mark Rothko exhibition. I think that color, aided by light, enters into a relationship with the soul, bringing about unexpected emotional consequences. [M. Rothko] The lighting for the inauguration was inspired by Rothko’s color palette, creating visual continuity between the artworks and the reception areas. Within this subtle dialogue between light, space and perception, Kaleydo’s contribution takes shape: a project conceived
