Description

A miniature masterpiece that encapsulates the devotion and ancient sculptural art of Val Gardena. This half-bust medallion captures the essence of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, with artisanal high-relief craftsmanship that gives the composition surprising depth.

The figure, draped in a habit with soft folds, is sculpted with an expression of profound serenity, emphasized by the luminous halo. A lamb, a symbol of purity, rests in his arms, while a delicate dove perches on his open hand. Every detail, from the texture of the lamb's wool to the dove's feathers, is rendered with meticulous precision and opaque finishes that enhance its volume.

True to our tradition, the medallion is available in different precious essences: in natural or hand-colored maple wood finishes, or in the rare and fascinating variant of Italian olive wood. Choosing this medallion means always carrying with you not only a symbol of faith, but also a fragment of Val Gardena's sculptural excellence, a legacy of passion and pure craftsmanship.

Story
Saint Francis of Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone in 1182, is one of the most venerated saints in Christianity. His life was a hymn to poverty, humility, and love for every creature. After a comfortable youth, he stripped himself of all possessions to follow Christ, dedicating himself to the poor and the sick. He founded the Order of Friars Minor, based on the evangelical rule. His deep connection with nature led him to preach to the birds and call the sun "brother" and the moon "sister." He is the patron saint of Italy, animals, and ecology. His figure inspires peace, charity, and a deep respect for creation, making him a universal symbol of brotherhood and compassion. His veneration is widespread throughout the world, testified by countless churches, shrines, and works of art dedicated to him.
