The award winning fireworks display
ShowFX reinforced their reputation as one of the world’s leading pyrotechnic and special effects companies, taking home 2nd place in the Fiori di Fuoco - the World Championship of Fireworks.
Held against the beautiful backdrop of Italy’s Santa Maria, a provence in Verbania, the 11th annual championships included high quality competitors from China, Venezuela, Austria and Canada along with Australia’s own, ShowFX.
Seven performances were delivered throughout the competition, with participants rewarded for their “imagination and creativeness” when delivering their new choreographies, arabesques and coloured shape displays - enchanting guests and filling the night sky.
