Targetti Foundation

The Light Factory. A face-off between lighting designers from Paris and an Icelandic artist; a duel between an engineer from Tokyo and an American trendsetter; watching architects test themselves in an unusually playful realtionship with light and its ability to accompany or overturn volumes and designs in space; see artist become enthusiastic about the physical properties of lighting fixtures - all this and more takes place in the workshop of ideas, at the Fondazione Targetti.
Established and sponsored by Targetti Sankey S. p. A. to promote, support and develop the culture of light, art and architecture, Fondazione Targetti is a point of meeting, integration, and cultural exchange for specific skills, in order to share the knowledge from individual research channels and establish a network of excellence capable of offering a precious opportunity for professional enrichment.
To this end, training courses, cultural events, conventions, conferences, seminars, debates, roundtables and working meetings are organized and attended by internationally renowned figures.
The Foundation is headquartered at La Sfacciata, a fifteenth century villa near the Certosa monastery of Florence, Italy, a unique environment where art, culture, science innovation and learning come together to enrich each other.
