Phil Grucci and the Art of Fireworks
Phil Grucci plans and designs pyrotechnic spectaculars all over the world. He invites the ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service into his studio as he prepares for a record-breaking performance.
Some people have called Phil Grucci "the firework king," but that’s a title he politely rejects, adding that if anything it really belongs to his father and his uncle – older generations of a family-owned fireworks business that was founded in Italy in 1850. Phil Grucci is president and creative director, and is responsible for planning and designing award-winning pyrotechnic spectaculars all over the world. He invites the ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service into his studio as he prepares for another record-breaking performance.
