The “Concorso Rassegna dei Volti Lignei dei Carnevali di Montagna” was established in 1992, in the beautiful and evocative setting of the village of Fornesighe, after the discontinuation of the previous competition "Volti in legno secondo la tradizione zoldana" from 1991. From the very first year, '92, the event attracts carvers from all over Veneto and beyond, with the number of wood artists participating with their masks in the showcase continually increasing, especially from throughout the Alpine region.
A jury of specialists evaluates the faces and determines the winner, then launches the theme for the next edition. Indeed, the subject to which the works must be inspired changes each time, allowing those who create them to express themselves on various fronts and address always relevant themes.
For the 2023 edition, the chosen theme is The Divine Comedy, and the works will be exhibited at the “Al Piodech” hall in Fornesighe, where the awards ceremony will take place at the end of the exhibition.
