With our webpage we would like to introduce to you the pleasure of woodcarving. The carved figurines and objects are precious and timeless works of art originating in the 400 years old woodcarving tradition
of Val Gardena.
For more than four generations the woodcarvings of Franco have been carved and hand-painted in our South Tyrolean studios. The
local artisans carve the wood of our native, alpine mountain forests and paint every single figurine with elaborateness and great attention to detail. Hence, every woodcarving receives an individual touch and becomes a
unique piece of art.
Our collection primarily comprises religious motives like
Madonnas,
Nativity scenes,
Angels,
Crucifixes, and statues of
Saints , but we also offer profane carvings such as
ballerinas, animals and chess sets..
We hope you will enjoy browsing our website and find as much pleasure in our woodcarvings as we do.

The tools used for woodcarving are still the same: the chisel and the hammer. Experienced and patient hands manipulate these tools to give shape to and infuse life into the most common raw material: wood.
CreationThe colors used vary from sculpture to sculpture. Therefore each carving leaving the artist’s hands has its individual touch.
