Phil Grucci and the Art of Fireworks

Phil Grucci plans and designs pyrotechnic spectaculars all over the world. He invites the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service into his studio as he prepares for another record-breaking performance.
