DOLFI's guide to choosing a sculpture that illuminates memory and faith.
Every year, between the end of October and the first days of November, the air becomes quieter, the sky deeper, and in the hearts of many the desire to remember, pray and give thanks returns.
It's the season of All Saints' Day and the Commemoration of the Dead: days dedicated to those who are no longer with us, but continue to live on in our memory and in our faith.
In this period, choosing a sacred statue means much more than buying a decorative object:
it means bringing a sign of presence, protection, and hope into your home.
And no one knows this language better than the DOLFI artisans of Val Gardena, who have been transforming wood into emotion for over 130 years.
The value of a sacred statue: faith that becomes form
Every DOLFI sacred sculpture is created in the heart of the Dolomites, in a workshop where wood still speaks the language of silence and prayer.
The hands of the master sculptors follow ancient lines, inherited from generations, and give the sacred figures a human, sweet and profound gaze.
A Madonna and Child, a Saint Francis, a Guardian Angel, a Saint Joseph or a Holy Family:
Each of these subjects brings with it a different light, but always the same promise — that of protecting the home and those who live in it.
🙏 All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day: symbols of living memory
On these days, tradition invites us to honor our loved ones by lighting a candle, visiting a cemetery, or simply dedicating a thought.
A sacred statue in the home then becomes a place of the heart, a place where one can stop for a moment and find peace.
Choosing a DOLFI sculpture for this moment means:
• Remember with love those who came before us,
• Celebrating life and the beauty of faith,
• Bringing a living tradition of art and spirituality into the present.

🌿 The warmth of wood: living material, living prayer
Each DOLFI sculpture is made of solid maple, ash, lime, or olive wood, sourced from sustainable European forests.
Each piece is unique, carved, sanded and painted by hand with oil paints, according to the Gardena tradition.
The result is not just a sacred figure, but a presence that speaks: the delicacy of the living wood conveys warmth, intimacy and authentic spirituality.
💡 How to place your sacred statue in your home
• Choose a calm, bright place where the sculpture can “breathe”.
• Place a candle or a small flower nearby to create a space for reflection.
• DOLFI natural wood statues match perfectly with any decor, from classic to contemporary.
🕯️ A gift that remains
During this time of celebration, giving a DOLFI sacred statue means offering a lasting gesture: a sign of affection, a blessing, a message of continuity between those who are here and those who are no longer with us.
Each statue is carefully crafted and accompanied by a DOLFI certificate of authenticity, a symbol of a tradition that has brought Val Gardena art to the world since 1892.
