Breaking News: “Cervo del Fertazza” by Marco Martolar: A New Icon in the Belluno Dolomites
Marco Martolar’s latest masterpiece, the “Cervo del Fertazza,” has transformed the Belluno Dolomites landscape. The seven-meter sculpture, crafted from wood recovered from trees demolished during Storm Vaia in 2018, stands as a soaring testament to the resilience of nature.
Paying Tribute to Natural Resilience
The “Cervo del Fertazza” sculpture, inaugurated on Cima Fertazza, soars to 2,082 meters above sea level, dominating the picturesque Val. Conceived by artist Marco Martolar, the deer sculpture is not merely an artistic installation but a visual testament to nature’s tenacity in the face of adversity.
Storm Vaia and the Rebirth of Nature
Storm Vaia, which swept through Italy in 2018, left a path of devastation. In response, Martolar has been using the remains of fallen trees to craft art that symbolizes hope and rebirth. His previous works, including the Griffin, the Wolf, the Bear, and the Radicosauro, have all carried similar messages of resilience and renewal.
Symbolism and Significance
The deer, chosen symbolically for its strength, nobility, and connection to wild nature, has become an instant landmark for hikers and mountain lovers. The installation’s location, between the imposing peaks of Owl and Pelm near the Belvedere refreshment, offers stunning vistas and a spiritual connection to the mountains.
Resilience and Hope
The “Cervo del Fertazza” represents the culmination of Martolar’s journey to turn destruction into beauty. Michela Torre, owner of the Belvedere refreshment, inspired its creation, urging Martolar to bring his artistic vision to such a majestic place. From this initiative, a majestic deer symbolizes the resilience of spirit and nature.
Futures
The “Cervo del Fertazza” is poised to attract visitors seeking to experience the harmony between art and nature. It stands as a must-see destination in the Venetian mountains, combining natural splendor with human creativity and spiritual essence.
