Città Sospese

From November 15, 2025, to January 31, 2026, the historic center of Belluno hosts “Suspended Cities,” a site-specific art project conceived and promoted by the creative platform Mikoriza. The initiative transforms thirteen vacant storefronts into art points, aiming to draw attention to the issue of urban desertification and give meaning back to typically inactive spaces.

Six artists — Alessandra Condello, Carlo Andreasi, DEM, Francesco Comello, Lavinia Fagiuoli, and Raul Barattin — present a total of forty works including illustration, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and performance. The common thread of the exhibitions is the presence of the human figure, used to reactivate and give a voice to the abandoned environments.

Mikoriza is presented as a creative platform that integrates contemporary art, patronage, and corporate social responsibility. The reference to mycorrhiza — the symbiosis between roots and fungi — encapsulates the mission to connect artists, communities, and businesses through co-creation processes.

The success of “Suspended Cities,” made possible by the collaboration between artists, businesses, Confcommercio, and the municipal administration, represents a concrete example of this approach: an intervention that transforms empty spaces into places of connection, stimulating a collective reflection on the future of the historic center of Belluno.
