The art of wood carving in Val Gardena in South Tyrol has been a tradition for centuries. At the beginning of the 17th century in Val Gardena, modest attempts to secure a small additional income through hand-carved implements for house and farm led to artistic woodcarving. Pioneers of this craftsmanship were primarily ornamental sculptors who artistically adorned picture frames and clock stands.

But soon the wood carvers turned to more demanding topics, sacred works of art were created, which made the artistry of the Val Gardena carvers known far beyond the borders of South Tyrol. Today, in addition to sacred works of art, purely decorative as well as abstract ones are created. The Val Gardena sculptors attach great importance to the use of selected materials in order to guarantee the best possible quality and authenticity of their sculptures.

The wood sculptors produce their works of art in meticulous and precise manual work as well as in machine work. Works of art range from religious motifs, such as saints, crucifixes, Madonnas, angels, cribs, nativity figures, Stations of the Cross, to secular motifs, such as children, animal figures and portraits.
