During my recent trip, I had the opportunity to discover an unanticipated delight: a hike along a forest trail in Stenico leading to Bosco Arte Stenico, an al fresco art gallery constructed entirely of woodland materials. Each year, the gallery designates a particular theme (such as equilibrium or femininity) and invites artists to create site-specific installations using indigenous resources. This serendipitous discovery highlighted the creative potential of natural settings while showcasing the talents of contemporary artists working outside traditional gallery spaces. Overall, it was an memorable and inspiring experience I did not expect from an otherwise routine excursion.

The organic art installations situated within the forest evolve naturally with the progression of the seasons, ultimately assimilating seamlessly into their environment. My preferred pieces incorporated the sizable stick sculpture, the bundle of log-constructed crayons, and the graceful ballerina suspended amid a pair of trees.
