Exhibition “Mountain Spirit, Aosta Valley artisans tell their stories”

At the MAV-Museo dell’Artigianato Valdostano di Tradizionale you can visit the exhibition “Spirito Montano, scultori valdostani raccontano”. The exhibition aims to narrate the mountain through emotions and images that find expression in wood and stone thanks to the fine manual skills of professional sculptors from the Aosta Valley. The peculiarity of this exhibition is that it is a gallery-exhibition in which the works on display, which are all unique pieces, can be purchased by visitors. This is the first time that the museum has organized a gallery-exhibition with the aim of supporting those who have decided to make craftsmanship a profession and who, thanks to this trade, live and support their families and do so in the small municipalities located in the mountains and at the foot of the peaks of our region.

Artisans are both custodians and narrators of the territory, as well as part of the local productive fabric.
The exhibition features works by Manuel Baravex, Giangiuseppe Barmasse, Dario Berlier, Andrea Celestino, Matteo Crestani, Ornella Cretaz, Enrico Massetto, Luciano Regazzoni, Peter Trojer and Sebastiano Yon. The mountain is represented in different ways and styles, but with a common spirit, that is, by people who live it, breathe it, walk it, love it and observe it as the days and seasons change.
