ALE PIANO ART – CRIPPACONCEPT X PINCAMP
2023
This adventure came to life in January 2023 in Stuttgart, within an international setting rich in inspiration and vision. It was here that Crippaconcept, main sponsor of PiNCAMP, was inspired to shape an entirely new kind of award. Reinventing the sculpture each year is not about breaking tradition — it’s about honoring it. It reflects a shared belief that the desire for something new is deeply human, and that each edition deserves its own spark. With the goal of revamping the traditional gala format, Crippaconcept contributed to the creation of an unprecedented award: the Alter Ego Oscar Big, a recognition designed to celebrate talent through an artistic language. Because if creativity shapes the form of a prize, hospitality shapes the experience. And in the world of open-air tourism, PiNCAMP and Crippaconcept truly believe that hospitality is, indeed, an art. It was in this spirit that the collaboration with AlePiano Art began — a natural fusion of entrepreneurial vision and artistic sensitivity. The union of these two worlds transformed an idea into a tangible experience, giving life to a project that goes beyond a simple award — becoming a true work of art capable of conveying values, stories, and identity. From Stuttgart, a shared journey began — driven by enthusiasm, research, and passion — a journey that continues to evolve to this day, proving that the most authentic collaborations are always born from a shared vision and the courage to imagine something new.
The year 2023 marked the beginning of this unique adventure—an experience shaped by creativity, enthusiasm, and vision. This is how 25 Alter Ego Oscars, each 25 cm tall, were created to celebrate the nominees, along with 350 prints dedicated to the participants and 5 majestic Alter Ego Big awards, reserved for those who turned the dream into a prize
2024
In 2024, the adventure continues, growing in prestige and vision. Twenty-five 25 cm Alter Ego Oscars were created for the nominees, along with the imposing Alter Ego Big awards dedicated to the winners. But that’s not all: making this journey even more special, ANWB—the Royal Dutch Touring Club (Koninklijke Nederlandse Toeristenbond), the largest automobile and tourism association in the Netherlands—joined the project. For the Young Talent Award, eight Alter Ego Costance sculptures came to life, rendered in vibrant blue and yellow tones, symbols of energy, talent, and the future.
2025
In 2025, the collaboration becomes a symbol of unity and shared vision: PiNCAMP and ANWB chose to merge their identities into a single creation, giving life to the Alter Ego Oscar Big. Crafted in the iconic shades of red and blue and enhanced with their respective logos, these exclusive pieces celebrate the winners as emblems of excellence, innovation, and international recognition.

In 2026, the PiNCAMP Awards take place in Stuttgart, marking a new milestone for the project. Nine winners are celebrated with the Alter Ego Big sculptures by Alessandro, once again taking center stage during the ceremony.

ABOUT ALEPIANOART
Alessandro Piano, born in 1979 in Genoa, developed a strong bond with the history and traditions of his city, turning it into a deep passion for researching the past. Games, although only a small part of it, represent a powerful way to evoke childhood, one of the most beautiful periods of life. Collecting them means recovering memories, unfulfilled desires, and gaining a better understanding of who we are today.
This research intensified with the birth of his daughter, fueling the desire to show her what made him happy as a child. From this came the need to reinterpret games, making them iconic and unique. The aim is to take those born in the 1970s on a journey back in time and allow new generations to discover a forgotten world.
