Description

Every curve of the Saint Vitale statue is a testament to the excellent craftsmanship of Val Gardena. The vestments, expertly painted with rich polychromy, explode in a vibrant contrast: the deep red of the chasuble meets the luminous gold of the stole, enhancing the dignity of the figure. Observe the serene and contemplative expression, framed by a finely sculpted beard, which invites spiritual reflection.

The long golden crozier and the mitre adorn this iconic representation, making it a focal point in any sacred or domestic setting. This sculpture is not just a devotional object, but a true masterpiece of carving. Each piece is hand-finished, with a smooth and polished finish that highlights both the richness of the color and the high definition of the draperies and folds of the vestments.

In coherence with our sculptural tradition, the work is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, appreciated for its fine grain and carving precision, and of linden wood for larger sizes, which ensures lightness and structural stability.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: San Vitale, book, candle.
2) Religious meaning: San Vitale, Christian martyr, symbolizes unwavering faith. The book represents the Word of God and divine wisdom. The candle is a symbol of Christ, Light of the world, and of the faith that illuminates.
Story
San Vitale, Christian martyr, is venerated as the patron saint of Ravenna and a protector against nervous diseases and epilepsy. His story, shrouded in legend, tells of him as a Roman soldier converted to Christianity and martyred under Nero or Diocletian. Tradition says he was buried alive or beheaded. His cult spread rapidly, especially in Italy, where numerous churches and basilicas were dedicated to him, including the famous Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, a masterpiece of Byzantine art. His figure symbolizes the strength of faith and perseverance in the face of persecution. The book and the candle, iconographic attributes, recall his testimony of faith and the light of evangelical truth.
