THE LONG-ESTABLISHED, LARGE FAMILY OF SCULPTORS FROM VAL GARDENA, REALIZES STATUES AND WORKS MADE OUT OF WOOD AND BRONZE AS WELL AS BAS-RELIEFS

Our studio is the best place to get to know the Val Gardena art tradition: every work has the certificate and the mark by the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano which guarantees that it has been entirely hand carved. On request models and pictures are made to be handed out to the customer for assessment. We have an open mind about modern statues with the latest symbolism.

CHURCH MARIA SS. REGINA - Gorizia
Via Montesanto 73


Presentation of the sculptures made for the new church Maria SS. Regina in Gorizia.

10 completely hand-carved sculptures in lime wood of a height of 2-3 meters each for the new church Maria SS. Regina (Gorizia), made by Ferdinando Perathoner.













The Root of Jesse
 





Ferdinando Perathoner and his family give a special touch to Christs, risen Christs or other sacral statues like Madonnas or Saints. Already in the Early Christian Church it was very difficult to represent Jesus. The figure has a significant value that helps people to reassess the secret of incarnation of Jesus and that leads them to the evangel. The responsibility of each sculptor that creates a depiction of Christ is enormous as he has to visualize the invisible. Through the incarnation, the redemption and the mercy Jesus gives us the chance to remember him and to develop creativity. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the visible part of the invisible God of the Holy Trinity.


Hand-carved copies of antique statues


We accomplish copies of statues of a high artistic value that are exposed in sacral spaces or museums or that replace original statues for reasons of security or conservation.

Restoration of statues and conservative restoration


It is our greatest concern to distinguish between the ‘new painting’ and the ‘preserving painting’ keeping particular consideration for the original
