On the beautiful shores of Lake Maggiore in Lombardy, there is a small village of about 3,500 inhabitants with a unique story. A story that began in 1999 and featured Lino Betti as its protagonist—a resident of Leggiuno who has transformed his village into a true Christmas haven in just over twenty years. 

In 1999, Lino Betti decided to add an extra touch to Leggiuno’s Christmas. So, when he had the opportunity to purchase 10.000 lights for 100 dollars in Brazil, he didn’t let them slip away. Returning home with the loot, Mr. Betti marked the first significant step towards what we now know as Leggiuno’s Christmas lights.
