Description

Allow yourself to be enveloped in the serene contemplation of our Statue of Saint Rita of Cascia, a masterpiece of wooden sculpture that embodies the grace and devotion of Val Gardena.

The figure is sculpted in a posture of quiet welcome, with the body draped in a gown with ample dark folds that enhance its volume and movement. Her gaze, lowered and sorrowful, reflects the deep spirituality of the saint, while her right hand is raised in a gesture that may indicate a silent blessing. The chromatic contrast is vibrant: the sobriety of the gown (available in "colored" and "three shades of brown" finishes) is broken by the luminosity of her face and bare feet – a symbol of humility – and by the bouquet of red roses, an emblem of the miracle of winter blooming. Every detail, from the knotted rope at her waist to the discreet rosary, is expertly painted and patinated by hand.

True to our tradition of excellence, this sculpture is crafted using the most suitable woods for each size. We use Maple Wood for sizes up to 56 cm and Linden Wood for larger dimensions. This meticulous selection ensures that every piece, from small devotional items to large sacred furnishings, retains its beauty and solidity over time.
