On the occasion of the anniversary of the fire that destroyed the ancient settlement on July 30, 1855, Contenuto Rimosso proposes every year since 2012 the interruption of public lighting and the installation of fires, candles, and torches in the neighborhood of the Quadrato di Lorenzago di Cadore.

The evening of July 30 includes moments of conviviality, art, and cultural deepening with invited guests and the active participation of local associations.

Over the years, Contenuto Rimosso has become a much-anticipated event for Lorenzago and a consolidated anniversary.

Today it is part of the calendar of the most felt and participated local festivities, representing an important moment of gathering for the community of Lorenzago, the neighboring towns, and the entire Cadorino territory.

At the same time, the project represents a case study of academic interest, raising central questions in the critical debate about the relationship between art, public space, and territories.

Starting from 2025, the project includes an artistic research program led by Chiara Trivelli, involving university students and recent graduates, and a series of related events in the week leading up to July 30.

Another relevant aspect concerns the editorial outcomes of the project.

In addition to the scientific literature that is developing around Contenuto Rimosso, this year a second publication titled Costellazione Lorenzago will be presented, as part of the launch of an annual editorial series entirely dedicated to the project.

The Contenuto Rimosso 2026 program starts on Friday, July 24 at 3:00 p.m. with Exploring Ladin Place Names, a hike organized by Angela Bosin, a participant in the artistic research program, with local historian Gianpietro De Donà and the CAI section of Lorenzago di Cadore.

Monday, July 27, at 6:00 p.m., the Giardino del Quadrato will host Singing to the Wind, featuring Chiara Sibilla, a participant in the artistic research program, and the Schola Cantorum Lorenzago, who will present an experimental performance of a piece from the traditional choir repertoire.

Wednesday, July 29, at 6:00 p.m., also at the Giardino del Quadrato, there will be “Conducting a Public Meeting with a Log”, a public assembly open to citizens led by the Committee of July 30 according to the methods proposed by Chiara Porzio, a participant in the artistic research program.

Thursday, July 30 will be the main day of the fifteenth edition, with the traditional gathering in the Quadrato di Lorenzago.

At 6:00 p.m., the book Costellazione Lorenzago by Chiara Trivelli, published by DBS Edizioni, will be presented, with the participation of Marco D’Ambros, the mayor of Lorenzago di Cadore, Barbara D’Ambrosio, an art historian and curator, and the participants in the artistic research program.

From 7:00 p.m. onwards, the Quadrato will host booths from ANA – Associazione Nazionale Alpini, CAI – Club Alpino Italiano, Blood Donors, Alpine Hunting Reserve, and Schola Cantorum Lorenzago, where food and drinks will be shared.

At 7:30 p.m., the performance "Inhabiting a Threshold", by Martina Zito, among the participants in the artistic research program, will take place with the Gruppo Danza Auronzo.

From 8:00 p.m., the summer camp Oltrepiave Camp will offer educational activities for children aged 4 to 10.

At 8:30 p.m., a mountain choir concert, Cori di montagna, will depart from the Giardino del Quadrato, organized by the Schola Cantorum Lorenzago, featuring participation from the Coro Cadore, Coro San Vito, and Corale San Marco.

At 9:30 p.m., on the Terrazza del Quadrato, there will be “Appointment with History”, a meeting with local historians Giovanni De Donà and Giuseppe Teza, organized by ANA and CAI.

Throughout the evening, on Via Marconi, there will also be a continuous screening of Le nostre montagne, a selection of photographs curated by CAI.

The evening will conclude with a folk music concert by Le Pirie, organized by the Blood Donors, scheduled for 10:00 p.m.
