Hidden Treasures: Pranzo, a village and its crafts

A visit to the open air art installation in the village of Pranzo (Tenno): wooden panels made by the local school of sculpture in honour of the trades and professions of days gone by.

<p>The trail with the<strong> theme of traditional trades</strong> takes you on a tour of Pranzo and recalls both the workshops in the small town and the public places where the collective life of the community took place.</p> <p>The large panels which make up the installation are all sculpted in wood -Stone Pine, for the most part – by the students and teachers of the Scuola del legno of Pranzo, a small school of woodworking which has earned itself a name in recent years.</p> <p><strong>They record old stories about activities which are typical to the local area and give their names in local dialect</strong>. These are trades and professions which date back to the mid-20th century, but which are connected with an unbroken tradition with roots in centuries past. Pranzo, a town with many workshops, factories, laboratories and production facilities, invites you to come and discover these old jobs and get a glimpse of what is now a part of  local history.</p>
