The Intersection of Music, Innovation, and Legacy
Every summer, Turin pulses with the beats of the Kappa Future Festival, an event that transforms the city into a vibrant epicenter of electronic music. This festival isn’t just a series of concerts; it’s a convergence of cutting-edge sounds, dynamic performances, and a celebration of a legacy rooted in Turin’s rich industrial history. Central to this dynamic event is Maurizio Junior Vitale, affectionately known as Juni, who continues the entrepreneurial spirit of his father, the founder of the iconic Robe di Kappa.
The Birth of an Icon: Robe di Kappa
Robe di Kappa, established in the 1960s, revolutionized casual wear in Italy and beyond. Its founder, Maurizio Vitale, was a visionary who transformed a simple T-shirt brand into a global fashion phenomenon. Known for its distinctive logo featuring a man and woman sitting back to back, Robe di Kappa became synonymous with sporty elegance and Italian style.
Maurizio Vitale’s legacy is not just limited to fashion. His son, Maurizio Junior Vitale, inherited his father’s entrepreneurial spirit and love for innovation.
While Maurizio made waves in the fashion industry, Juni has carved out a niche in the world of marketing and tourism, becoming a pivotal figure in Turin’s cultural scene.

A Visionary in His Own Righ
Maurizio Junior Vitale, or Juni, certainly inherited the creative energy and business acumen of his father.
His brainchild, the Kappa Future Festival (KFF), is a testament to his forward-thinking mindset and dedication to the music arts.
Launched in 2009 to commemorate the centenary of Futurism, the festival quickly gained recognition for its focus on electronic music, integrating cutting-edge technology with dynamic performances.
In addition to his role with the KFF, Juni serves as the President of Turismo Torino, working to elevate Turin’s profile as a top tourist destination.
