A one-day festival for planet Earth in the garden and halls of Palazzo Arese Borromeo, Cesano Maderno.
The City of Cesano Maderno wanted a celebration of the planet, with music, workshops and talks between the garden and the sky.
We curated the programme of both editions. In 2024: Paolo Pileri (Politecnico di Milano), Essere Animali, Slipmode with Hyperscapes Research Office, Francesco Fusaro (NTS Radio), Fritto FM and Furtherset, and a talk with Ferdinando Cotugno (Domani).
In 2025 the theme was the revolutions that are changing the way we live and quietly weigh on the planet, and the talk with Laura Carrer (IRPI Media) brought it to the environmental impact of AI. Around it were a workshop by Arahuaca and sets by Fritto FM, spread across two stages, a workshop trail and an area for local associations and food stands.
For the 2025 edition we also wrote the editorial plan that brought the programme to social media in the weeks before the festival.
Studio x01 produced the festival and designed the set, reusing objects from the palace storerooms.
Ariaperta took place on 20 April 2024 and 15 June 2025, both times from morning to night and with free entry. The second edition happened because, after the first, the City confirmed the format.
