The Radio Italia Live Concert took place in Palermo, Foro Italico, on Friday the 27th of June 2025.
The event is the biggest free-entry concert, offered for the 4th time in Sicily by the main Italian radio company to all its public. This year there were over 50,000 people who participated. It is also broadcast on many TV and web channels.
It starred a total of 12 artists, among the most known national singers, each one playing 3 songs and in addition a live orchestra. All together played for a total of 4 hours of live concert.

Virtual Lighting managed the stage project and the lighting design, thanks to the cooperation between the director of photography Ivan Lavezzoli, the lighting designers and operators Lorenzo Pagella, Luca Fabiani and Gaetano Di Natale.
The stage project was based on romboid trusses and LED screens, while the lighting design choice was to use a mix of discharged and Laser source fixtures for the beam effects and LED fixtures for the wash lights.
This concept was meant to cover the extremely long seaside of the location, with inclined elements hanged to enhance the beam throw on the public.

The lights were managed by a Compulite Vibe networking system made of 1 Vibe console, 1 Vibey console and 1 Vector PB20 Wing extension.

The Concert lighting was pre-programmed in studio using also a Vibe PC connected with a Vector PC Wing operating the L8 visualizer with a main sequence and more Qlists for live busking. All the Cues were based on preprogrammed libraries and then adjusted on-site.

The lighting equipment included about 450 fixtures from many world known lighting brands.
The DMX signal was managed via Artnet by a Luminex networking infrastructure made of Gigacore switches and Luminode converters.

The lighting equipment was supplied by the rental company Novelty Italia, the Compulite consoles were supplied by Professional Show (official Compulite distributor in Italy) and FraGaMa.
