For an entire weekend, Mel in Borgo Valbelluna dresses in embroidery and lace.
The tenth edition of the market exhibition “Dolomiti in Ricamo” is scheduled for Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026, along with the International Competition Dolomiti in Ricamo, this year with the theme titled “The Dolomite Seasons…Winter”, set up at the Palazzo delle Contesse.
The exhibition is dedicated to embroidery, lace, masterpieces of craftsmanship created by skilled hands, and is organized by the association “Gusela e Fil”. In previous editions, it has gathered increasing public acclaim, thus becoming a fixed appointment at the beginning of the summer season in Borgo Valbelluna.
Like every year, it will see the participation of artisans in the sector and numerous high-quality exhibitors from all over Italy. The event aims to enhance and safeguard Women's Arts as well as promote the culture of embroidery and lace, precious and sophisticated arts that have become increasingly rare in our days, as they require infinite patience and a lot of time.
The splendid setting of the Palazzo delle Contesse transforms into a true workshop for two days: artistic embroideries, lace, cross-stitch works, lace-making, macramé, tatting, threads, artistic buttons… and much more!
There will also be spaces dedicated to mini courses where various embroidery techniques and other artistic specialties will be demonstrated and taught. The exhibition, with free entry, is an unmissable appointment for lovers of the art of needle and thread!
