An ingenious, versatile artist and poet, Santo Pirano was passionate about the mountains, in particular the Lessinia and the Carega group. He built a herdsman’s hut amid olive trees in the hills of the Val d’Illasi. In the silence up there he found the inspiration to make his wood sculptures with simple subjects and profound religious inspiration.
