Starting August 21st, for five Fridays, tours will be held to discover the treasures of the art of sculpture in Ossola, organized by the Ruminelli Foundation and Association, together with art historians.
The Ossola Valleys, in fact, are rich in examples of ancient wooden sculptures such as statues, altars, and processional structures, predominantly linked to sacred environments. Discovering and enhancing these arts is the objective of the five free meetings that will take place every Friday at 4:00 PM starting August 21st, and of the study day on September 26th.
