The No Dal Molin Movement was born in Vicenza in 2006 against the construction of a new US military base in the former Dal Molin airport. Since then, the No Dal Molin Permanent Presidium has become the common home of various anti-militarist realities and the space for the movement's creativity. Art has a founding role in this political activism, in various forms attributable to the sphere of public art. While the Vicenza military bases imitate the art of Andrea Palladio, in fact, the No Dal Molin Movement crosses the city with participatory artistic performances and productions.
The article intends to deepen some of the artistic forms proposed from 2006 to 2014 and investigate their current legacy. Among these: the actions of invisible theater and street theater that the women of the movement used to initially stimulate the public debate on the basis; the contributions of local artists, such as the action addressed to Unesco The Burning Cemetery, by Alberto Peruffo; Silent Play, an audio-guided tour coordinated by Carlo Presotto and written collectively which, during the construction phase of the base, retraced the places and events that symbolize the movement.
