"CATASTE E CANZEI"
WINTER WOOD STOCKS TURN INTO ART
In recent years, Mezzano — a true gem among Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages — rooted in the traditions of wood and mountain life, has filled with enchanting artistic wood piles.
Along the narrow streets, at the foot of ancient façades, beside wooden balconies, in small squares, courtyards, under stairways and on little terraces… the winter supply of logs transforms into beauty, taking on unexpected shapes: it recalls past events, reveals dreams, reinterprets history and narrates the lives of local families.
Every corner hides a surprise: a weeping face, a loom shuttle, a giant corn cob above the chicken coop, landscapes carved in wood like inlays, a folk song brought to life, giant flowers, tiny windows between the logs decorated with lace and cascades of geraniums…a whole village waiting to be discovered!
