This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View of taxonomy terms that I am using to create a list of links to different pages that each contain a filtered View. The links work well now, but some of the Views on these pages have no results. If the View contains no results, I would like to hide the link to that page.
Solution: Use a View as a conditional to determine whether or not results are found. If results are found, display the link. If no results are found, display nothing. Use shortcode attributes and the wpv-attribute shortcode as needed to pass information around between Views and their parent context.

Hello, the best way to do this without custom code is to use a View that acts like a conditional. It looks like you are creating the list of links now using a View of Eventi terms, is that correct? If so, you should keep displaying this View of Eventi terms, but instead of displaying the link in the loop of this View, you will display a nested View of posts. You should display the same post type that is currently displayed at the /eventi/eventi-aziendali URL. That View of posts should have two Query Filters: one for the Eventi taxonomy, and another for the Citta taxonomy. Both Query Filters should filter by taxonomy term slug, set by a shortcode attribute like wpveventi or wpvcitta. See the screenshot here for an example.
When you insert the posts View shortcode in your View of Eventi terms, you will add the current taxonomy term slug shortcode to the wpveventi attribute, like this:
[wpv-view name="Your Posts View" wpveventi="[wpv-taxonomy-slug]" wpvcitta="roma"]
I have added "roma" as the Citta term here, as well, to make the link dynamic. Add this View shortcode inside the loop of your current View of Eventi terms.
Instead of displaying posts in the loop of the posts View, remove all the contents from the wpv-loop tags. The loop should be EMPTY. Instead, somewhere inside the wpv-items-found section, display the /eventi/eventi-aziendali/?citta=roma link using the wpv-attribute shortcode to build the link URL dynamically with the current term slug:
<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> name='wpveventi']/?citta=[wpv-attribute name='wpvcitta']"><em><u>hidden link</u></em> name='wpveventi']/?citta=[wpv-attribute name='wpvcitta']</a>
Remove the "No results found" message from the wpv-no-items-found section so it is empty. If no results are found, nothing should be displayed.
Let me know if you have questions about this and I'll give you some additional guidance.
