M-Cube has completed a major immersive LED installation at Galleria Bombi in Gorizia, Italy transforming the pedestrian passage into what is being described as the longest immersive digital gallery in the world and the longest LED gallery in Europe.
Delivered through Videomobile, M-Cube’s LED-specialist division, the project forms part of the regeneration programme linked to Gorizia and Nova Gorica’s designation as European Capitals of Culture 2025. Officially inaugurated on December 16, the installation reimagines the gallery as a permanent digital art environment rather than a transitional urban space.
At the heart of the project is a 100m-long curved LED wall with a total surface area of 925 sq m. With a 2.5mm pixel pitch and an overall resolution of 40,000 x 3,700 pixels, the display delivers ultra-high-definition imagery designed to fully envelop visitors as they move through the space. In total, the system comprises around 148 million pixels.
The LED structure follows the vaulted ceiling of the gallery for its entire length, presenting a significant engineering and installation challenge. M-Cube says the project required close coordination between advanced LED technology and traditional Italian craftsmanship to accommodate the architecture while ensuring structural independence from the historic building.
The infrastructure includes 3,700 LED cabinets mounted on 37 tonnes of self-supporting load-bearing structures, secured using thousands of structural bolts and fixings. The system also incorporates nano-coated LED boards with GOB treatment for durability, extensive fibre and CAT6 networking, and a dedicated power and ventilation infrastructure. Content is driven by 20 4K video signals, managed through five professional workstations.
Installation work was carried out over 30 consecutive days by a team of 12 specialised technicians, reflecting both the scale and technical complexity of the project.
The opening content for the gallery has been created by digital artist Refik Anadol, whose work sets the tone for Galleria Bombi as a permanent digital canvas. The intention, according to the project partners, is for the gallery to function as a symbolic and cultural landmark, blending contemporary digital art with the city’s architectural heritage.
Speaking about the project, M-Cube Group President Manlio Romanelli said the installation represented a particularly meaningful milestone for the company, combining long-standing technical expertise with a culturally significant project in its home territory. Videomobile CEO Cristian Bragato highlighted the technical demands of the installation, describing it as the result of more than two decades of research and development in LED technologies.
Galleria Bombi is open to the public free of charge and is expected to play a central role in the cultural programme surrounding the European Capital of Culture year.
