The Ex Tempore of Wood Sculpture is a competition organized by the Consortium Belluno Centro Storico, which has for years been the most awaited event of the Belluno autumn, during the period leading up to the beloved Feast of the Patron Saint San Martino (November 11).
From Tuesday, November 4 to Sunday, November 9, the heart of Belluno's historic center transforms into a large open-air workshop during the Symposium of Sculpture, one of the most awaited events of the Ex Tempore. For several days, the rhythmic sound of chainsaws and chisels echoes among the ancient walls, while artists, positioned in various spots, bring unique works to life, skillfully and passionately sculpting wood.
The air is filled with the unmistakable fragrance of larch, resinous and intense, blending with the voices of onlookers and the murmur of the city. Strolling among the spots, one can observe the sculptures taking shape before the public’s eyes: figures inspired by nature, faces, symbols, and stories born from wood turning into art.
This year's theme is "Beyond the Gesture: Energy, Sport, Harmony" and the sculptors present, coming from various parts of Italy and the world, will be:
Sara Andrich, Raul Barattin, Ivan Boneccher, Alberto Boschetti, Nicola Cozzio, Gianfranco Dalla Costa, Gianluca De Nard, Arianna Gasperina, Armin Grunt, Giar Lunghi, Marco Pangrazio, Francesco Rizzardi, Manuel Rossi, Matthias Sieff, Kurt Wierer.
