Alessandro Cruto was an Italian inventor, born in the village of Piossasco, who improved on Thomas Edisons incandescent light bulb.

After these successes and because his manufacturing facilities in Piossasco were inadequate, he decided to move his activities to a more suitable location.
Since then, many different projects have been started up, including International Camps for young people (including young Italians from Piossasco) as well as school-to-school projects.
