Lighting of the 2026 «Luci d'Autore» in Asti
Date of the event:
In the late afternoon of 12 November 2026 the new installations of «Luci d'Autore – Asti in Parole e Musica» (“Author's Lights – Asti in Words and Music”) came on in the historic centre of Asti, a project created by the cultural association CRE[AT]IVE to turn the streets of the centre into a path of light and culture.[1]
The new installations
The project grows with four light installations hung over the streets of the historic centre, dedicated to figures who shaped the culture of Asti: Alessandra Appiano, Gianni Basso, Giorgio Conte and Massimo Cotto. The phrases chosen for the installations are “Ti meriti un amore” (“You deserve a love”) for Alessandra Appiano, “Come quando fuori piove” (“Like when it is raining outside”) for Giorgio Conte, “Il jazz non si spiega, si vive” (“Jazz is not explained, it is lived”) for Gianni Basso and “Stay rock” for Massimo Cotto.[1]
The new light installations were put up between late October and early November 2026 and will remain permanently in the city.[1]
The first edition
The 2026 installations add to those of the first edition, in 2025, placed in via Garetti and via Bruno, which quote famous lines by Paolo Conte, Giorgio Faletti and Vittorio Alfieri.[1]
