About TEDxBellano

There is something magnetic about the idea of talking about abysses, discoveries, and suspended questions right inside a gorge carved by water over the centuries. TEDxBellano brings the TED format to the Orrido di Bellano, on Lake Como: a day of talks where speakers from different backgrounds share ideas worth spreading. A cultural event of international scope set in one of the most spectacular natural sites in the province of Lecco, where the suggestion of the landscape amplifies the power of words.

TED ideas arrive in Bellano

TEDxBellano is the independent event, organized under license from TED, which brings to Bellano, on Lake Como, a day dedicated to ideas worth spreading. The format is the famous TED talk: short and intense presentations by speakers from diverse fields, from science to art, from business to society.

A unique stage: the Orrido

What makes TEDxBellano special is its location: the Orrido di Bellano, the spectacular natural gorge carved over centuries by the Pioverna stream. Holding the talks within this natural setting, suspended between rock and water, amplifies the experience and creates a suggestive dialogue between the edition's theme and the landscape.

Culture and territory

The event is part of Bellano's rich cultural program, in the province of Lecco, helping to promote the village and its natural and artistic heritage beyond local borders. An event that combines dissemination, reflection, and enhancement of the territory.

An international format

Part of the global network of TEDx events, TEDxBellano brings a global and recognizable language to Lake Como, capable of attracting a curious audience attentive to the major issues of the present, in an Italian setting of rare beauty.
