Cortina di Stelle

From 3 January to 5 April 2026
the Lagazuoi Expo Dolomiti hosts Cortina di Stelle
the new exhibition by Fulvio Morella
dedicated to the relationship between art, inclusion and sport in view of the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics.
The exhibition is part of the official programme of the Cultural Olympiad.
 

The exhibition finds a unique location in the Lagazuoi: a natural stage suspended between the Dolomites, where art dialogues with light, rock and sky. Here, the altitude amplifies the multi-sensory experience, making perception sharper and more intense.

The artist and the exhibition itinerary

Fulvio Morella, one of Italy's most famous contemporary artists and present in international museums, brings to Cortina three cycles of works that integrate Braille as an artistic language and a tool for inclusion. The exhibition, curated by Sabino Maria Frassà under the patronage of the Italian Paralympic Committee and the INJA "Louis Braille", also stems from discussions with Paralympic athletes in collaboration with FISIP.

The works

  • Blind Wood – Sculptural paintings in wood and metal that reinterpret iconic monuments from above, accompanied by Braille texts that guide the visitor.
  • Braille Stellato – Tactile constellations and encrypted messages that transform Braille into a new sky to be "read with the fingers".
  • Braillight – Luminous sculptures in steel and amaranth wood in which light springs from Braille, presented for the first time as a complete cycle at high altitude.


An invitation to look beyond

At Lagazuoi, among the peaks, the exhibition becomes a path that "lifts the veil" and accompanies the viewer towards a new way of perceiving art and limits. It is here, in the heart of the Dolomites, that Cortina di Stelle finds its most authentic dimension: an immersive experience that combines nature, art and the Paralympic spirit.
