Several Sharpys were arranged along two battens in the centre and at the back of the stage and various Aleda B-Eye K10s were hung on four tubular supports as backdrop lighting with the precise aim of enhancing the beautiful effects created. All the lights were programmed by Mario Zanella and Bruno Maffei using a Chamsys MQ 200.
On the Friday night, Notti di Maggio turned into an important cultural showcase for local 'Trento music' and the stage was given over to several Italian tribute bands.
On the Saturday - the true heart of Notte di Maggio - the new Viva DJ Competition organized by Radio Vivafm took the stage with a night devoted entirely to movement, shows and the world of dance in all its forms. Three musical settings and three equipped stages saw more than twenty DJs take turns at the console. Impressive scenery also dominated in the event's garden area.
On the Sunday, there was a regional meeting of the best country dance groups and schools in Northern Italy. Organized entertainment activities were also laid on for adults and children, including inflatable games and games of yesteryear. This was followed by a zumba party and a riotous Trento Tyrolean folk night!
The event was held in a covered area of nearly 2400 square yards together with almost 3000 square yards of open space in the picturesque setting of Coredo in Val di Non (TN). Maffei Service Srl saw to the lighting, sound systems, original stage designs and sets. Ezio and Bruno Maffei - the two owners - have dealt with the event for more than ten years.
