Lapi Gelatine Renews Its Support for “Empoli Città del Natale” with Two New Family-Focused Initiatives

A Commitment That Continues

For 2025, Lapi Gelatine has renewed its sponsorship of Empoli Città del Natale, an annual event that transforms the town into a place filled with magic, community spirit, and local identity.
For nearly 60 years, the company has been part of Empoli’s manufacturing sector, and its continued support reflects a commitment to an initiative that brings cultural, social, and tourism value to the entire community.

Supporting Empoli Città del Natale also means reaffirming the values that guide Lapi Gelatine: trust, transparency, and responsibility toward people, the environment, and the territory in which it operates.

Two New Features Designed for Families and the Next Generations

For the 2025 edition, Lapi Gelatine has chosen to contribute with two special projects created to engage families and children, encourage innovation, and promote sustainable behavior.

The Teddy AI Bear – Technology and Interaction at the Service of Magic

On Via del Papa, visitors will encounter Teddy, a luminous 3D installation powered by artificial intelligence.
Teddy will interact with guests, answering questions and creating magical moments—especially for younger visitors.

This innovative prototype, never before seen in the context of Christmas light installations, aims to bring a sense of wonder while introducing the community to new forms of technological creativity.

The Grinch’s House – Turning Recycling into a Game

On Via Paladini—renamed “Legendary Street” for the occasion—children will be able to explore the brand-new Grinch’s House, an experiential path dedicated to recycling and environmental awareness.
Through playful and interactive activities, young visitors will learn the importance of resource conservation, waste reduction, and sustainable everyday habits.

This initiative aligns perfectly with Lapi Gelatine’s long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility.

A Gift for the Company’s Community

As in previous years, Lapi Gelatine has chosen to directly involve its people.
Throughout the event, the company will offer complimentary tickets to employees, enabling them to enjoy the festivities with their families and allow children to experience all dedicated activities.

This gesture celebrates the spirit of Christmas while recognizing the daily contribution of everyone within the organization.

A Collaboration That Continues to Grow

The official inauguration of Empoli Città del Natale took place in the presence of local institutions, organizers, and partners.
For Lapi Gelatine, attending this significant moment for the community was an honor and a privilege.

The company extends its sincere thanks to Eros Condelli, the Municipality of Empoli, and all those who, with dedication and passion, make this event—now a true symbol of Christmas in Empoli—possible.

Looking Ahead While Staying Connected to the Territory

With these new initiatives, Lapi Gelatine reaffirms its commitment to a territory that represents home, history, and future.
The company believes in the value of local traditions, in the importance of people, and in the responsibility of contributing to a dynamic, welcoming, and environmentally conscious city.

Once again this year, Empoli Città del Natale shines with a special light—
and Lapi Gelatine is proud to be part of it.

The attractions and installations will be open to visitors until January 11, 2026.
