As was born the idea of the deer of the fertazza

Its presence dominates the Val Fiorentina and immediately became a new point of reference For hikers, photographers And mountain lovers. The idea was born from an unexpected encounter. Martolar said:

One evening a few years ago, Michela Torre, owner of the Belvedere refreshment, called me. We didn’t know each other, but his words were decided. ‘Such a beautiful place must have your work’.

It was she who proposed the creation of a majestic animal that could represent the spirit of the place. After a moment of reflection, the artist proposed the deersymbol of Force, nobility of mind And Connection with wild nature. A good, strong and majestic soul.

With this installation, the wounded nature turns into a beauty And the tragedy of the past becomes occasion of rebirth artistic and spiritual. A new unmissable stage for those who cross the Venetian mountains in search of wonder and meaning.
