Maga at MonzaCon: bringing NORA to the stage
29 gen 2026On January 24th we jumped into the lively world of MonzaCon, surrounded by comics, cosplay, games and music. The perfect place for us to talk about stories, characters and how new worlds are built.
Our CEO Massimo Carrier-Ragazzi presented “NORA ノラ – How a Virtual Idol is born (without AI).” The audience got a fun, behind‑the‑scenes tour of how NORA came to life: a project crafted entirely by human hands, illustrators, musicians, animators and the real singer who gives NORA her voice, her emotions and her personality. The presentation highlighted all the elements shaping her identity: J‑pop, K‑pop, anime vibes, 80s Italian music, choreography, 3D style and Unreal Engine experiments. A mix of cultures and inspirations that makes NORA truly unique. She’s also a reminder of something we care deeply about: technology can support creativity without replacing the artists behind it. And her adventure is just getting started!
A huge thanks to MonzaCon for having us and to our host Masta for the great interview.
