Hot air balloon liftoff, Brugherio, close to Milan, Italy. Several balloons took off almost simultaneously to commemorate the first italian hot air balloon flight, operated 225 years before, on March 13th, 1784, by Paolo Andreani, Agostino and Carlo Gerli from nearly the same place, using a prototype built in only 24 days. Several italian and international crews gathered for the occasion, the balloon portraited here coming from Le Puy-en-Velay, a town in France twinned with Brugherio.
