Another novelty of Donne fra le Stelle 2024 Forum is the Apollo Experience which will offer visitors the opportunity to feel immersed in space by being able to walk next to the historic Apollo 11.

The installation will take place in collaboration with Y-40 the Deep Joy in the square in front of CineTeatro Marconi, the location where the symposium will take place.

The Y-40 - The Deep Joy is the deepest swimming pool in Italy and the third in the world. Y-40 is located in Turri, a hamlet of Montegrotto Terme, in the province of Padua, and its name recalls the figure of the freediver in a vertical position and the maximum depth of the pool, which is approximately forty metres, precisely 42.15 m.

For the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing, Y-40® The Deep Joy has built the life-size Lunar Excursion Module. Thanks to NASA projects, the 1:1 scale reproduction of the Apollo 11 LEM was immersed in the deepest pool in the world. Thanks to the partnership with Y-40, visitors will be able to immortalize themselves next to the historic spacecraft having the sensation of stepping on lunar soil. The area, specially fenced with barriers branded with the graphics of the event, will be covered with sand to best convey the idea of ​​the "walk in space".

At the end of the route, guests will be able to take their own souvenir photo with the help of special photographic backdrops. A real sensorial experience which, also thanks to a completely suggestive lighting design, will leave visitors speechless.
