Another showcase of simulated stutata shells. Great for saturating, high-intensity moments or finales.
In this sequence, we fired 15x 230mm shells. They might not look like much in terms of numbers but every shell has multiple subshells inside. Here we have 4 single-firing peonies, plus three connected fermate of 3 peonies each, for a total of 13 peonies per shell.
Trivia: the name Stutata is a traditional south Italian specific term for fireworks and it means "shut down shell" from the fact that when it first breaks it seems like it's not actually exploding. This however is just the prelude to the real explosion sequence, where shells are propelled upwards in an arc (which depends on the firework and how they are placed in the cylinder shell).

Inspired by the recent shows of the firework festival in Trani
