Ideas worth spreading, in the gorge of the Orrido
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 edition of TEDxBellano has the theme ABYSSES and takes place on July 3, 2026, in the Orrido di Bellano. The theme invites us to explore what escapes us and what remains hidden, starting from the metaphor of being on the edge of an abyss, where imagination and important questions begin.
The names of the speakers will be announced progressively on the event's official channels.
The theme of the 2026 edition is ABYSSES: a reflection on what attracts us and unsettles us at the same time, on what remains hidden, and on the imagination that arises when facing the unknown.
The talks will be held in the suggestive setting of the Orrido di Bellano, on Lake Como. The detailed program and the list of speakers will be published progressively on the official channels (tedxbellano.org). Tickets are available for purchase online.
