Boscultura 2023 returns for its 7th edition in Schignano, Val d’Intelvi, on Friday, June 2, and Saturday, June 3, 2023.
The theme of this edition is “Scorci del passato” (Glimpses of the Past), marking the first edition since the pandemic.
The event is organised by the M.A.SCH.E.R.A. Association – Mascherai Artisti Schignanesi Estimatori Ricercatori Assoluti.
The Association was founded to bring together people who share a passion for the traditional art of carving masks and creating costumes and characters associated with the historic Schignano Carnival.
During the two-day event, artists will work along the streets of Schignano, in the historic centre of Auvrascio.
Unique wooden sculptures and paintings will transform the village into an open-air art gallery, capturing the imagination of visitors and creating a memorable experience for those exploring its picturesque streets.
Boscultura is an event that invites visitors to discover the art of wood carving and celebrate creativity.
On Friday, June 2, activities will begin at 9:00 AM, when artists will start carving their wooden sculptures.
In the afternoon, from 4:00 PM, visitors will be able to watch demonstrations of traditional crafts.
At 5:00 PM, Vito Trombetta will present “Storia de legn”, a story about a creature made entirely of wood who dreams of becoming human.
Friday’s programme will conclude with a group aperitivo accompanied by live music.
On Saturday, June 3, activities will begin at 9:00 AM, with artists working throughout the streets of Schignano and visitors able to admire the completed sculptures.
From 12:00 PM, traditional local dishes will be available for lunch.
During the afternoon and into the evening, visitors of all ages can enjoy “Un gir nel BarWest“, a juggling performance for adults and children presented by Giuseppe Balzaretti.
The event will conclude with live music by the Simone Peduzzi Acoustic Band, starting at 9:00 PM.
Throughout both days of Boscultura, a bar and grilled food service will be available.
