Italian events specialist Cipiesse – based in Rezzato, near Brescia in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region – recently expanded its equipment inventory with an investment in a GTO C-12 large-format line-array system from Outline.

Santo Bertocchi, founder of Cipiesse, said: “After years of success with the Butterfly and Mantas systems, moving to the GTO C-12 was a natural evolution toward a top-tier technology. Our restart after the 2023 fire, which severely damaged our historic headquarters, was also a moment to look ahead with renewed determination.”
Federico Bianchi, general manager of Audio Link, Outline’s official distributor in Italy, added: “The Outline network is expanding throughout Italy. The fact that there are now two large-format GTO C-12 arrays in Northern Italy – in Genoa and now Brescia – and in the hands of highly competent teams, further strengthens this trend. Demand for top-tier audio solutions continues to grow in Italy, and we are ready to support it.”
In addition to the technical production of major events such as Brescia Summer Music – which has hosted major Italian and international artists for decades, spanning genres from rap and rock to pop and alternative – Cipiesse also manages the Bergamo Summer Music and Vallecamonica Summer Music series, and works closely with Dis_Play, a multipurpose venue inside the Brixia Forum.
