Italy's Parente Fireworks Group team presents their show on the background of pop and classical music.

The Italian team, with its rich experience and capacity in fireworks display, wowed spectators by launching 2,000 fires into the sky and using 200 lighting and music effects.

Established in 2014 but Finland's JoHo Pyro Professional Fireworks AB has accumulated extensive experience in the industry.

Finland’s fireworks display featured Lemminkainen, a hero in the Finnish mythology, who overcame a number of obstacles to an otherworldly place but finally killed by a weapon and retrieved by his mother who tried to bring him back to life. The performance highlighted love between a couple and between mother and child set against a music background.

Nguyen Manh Cuong from Hanoi said: “Personally I prefer Finland’s performance which was more vibrant. Italy’s show was also great for its romantic music and dramatic content.”

The two teams also presented fireworks telling emotional stories about rivers in Italy and Finland.
