About Feltre Craftsmanship Exhibition
Artistic Trades in the Medieval Citadel
The Feltre Artistic and Traditional Craftsmanship Exhibition is one of the historic events of the Feltre summer and one of the most fascinating craftsmanship fairs in the Veneto region. For four days, the historic center of Feltre (province of Belluno), with its famous Renaissance citadel, hosts exhibitors and master craftsmen who bring to life the courtyards of palaces, the streets, and the ancient houses of the village.
The Blacksmith Competition and the Rizzarda Prize
The most spectacular moment of the event is the blacksmith forging competition, with the prestigious prize named after master Carlo Rizzarda, a renowned wrought iron artist from the Feltre area. In front of the public, blacksmiths work incandescent metal, transforming it into works of art, in a contest that combines technique, creativity, and centuries-old tradition.
Forty Editions and the Cultural Olympics
Now in its 40th edition, the exhibition is a cornerstone of Feltre's cultural calendar. The 2026 edition is part of the initiatives for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympics, testifying to the identity value of an event that promotes manual skills and artisanal excellence in the Dolomite region.
