For an entire weekend, Mel in Borgo Valbelluna is adorned with embroidery and lace.
The ninth edition of the market exhibition “Dolomiti in Ricamo” is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, 2025, combined with the International Competition Dolomiti in Ricamo, this year with the theme titled “The Dolomitic Seasons…autumn,” set up at the Palazzo delle Contesse.
The exhibition is dedicated to embroidery, lace, masterpieces of craftsmanship and artistic craftsmanship created by skilled hands, and is organized by the “Gusela e Fil” association. In past editions, it has garnered increasing public support, becoming a fixed appointment at the beginning of the summer season in Borgo Valbelluna.
As every year, it will see the participation of artisans from the field 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 today, as they require infinite patience and a lot of time.
The beautiful setting of the Palazzo delle Contesse will become a true atelier for two days: artistic embroideries, lace, cross-stitch and lacework crafts, bobbin lace, 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, which is free to enter, is an unmissable appointment for lovers of needle and thread art!
