| Wood Carving,
 The
traditional Val Gardena craftwork dates back to the 17th century,
when, out of economic necessity, locals began to carve simple tools
or toys for daily use. Due to hard work, persistence, and skill
they were able to perfect their technical abilities and merge into
a creative activity producing increasingly qualitative and artistic
work. Today the art of Val Gardena wood carving spans from religious
to secular to simply decorative themes.
Trademark,
 The
majority of the Val Gardena sculptors and wood carvers still produce
their masterpieces exclusively by hand. These uniquely handcrafted
masterpieces are guarantied by an especially created trademark –
a metal plate inserted into the carving. A certificate also verifies
its authenticity.
