Giulio Erler, a painter from Opitergino, was one of the last exponents of the Venetian figurative school that was part of the Academy of Fine Arts of the lagoon city.
Erler, strongly anchored to the ideal of art as "mimesis," that is, as representation of nature, partially detaches himself from the representations of his time by formulating a timeless artistic language. His style is mimetic but realistic, capable of best configuring the landscape, subjects, and environmental changes of his time.
In Alleghe, in the locality of Casaril, there is a corner of peace during the summer where one can pause for a chat or a game of cards under the Northwest face of the Civetta. Here, there is also the opportunity to admire an "En plein air" exhibition of the painter thanks to the research conducted and the material produced by Lina De Biasio, who has gifted the fraction a corner of paradise.
On the sacred niche of the fraction of Casaril, Martin Koka, an Albanian artist residing in Alleghe, wanted to give the community a sign of his art, embellishing the façade of the capital with the ancient inscription Vea de San Zoane (Eve of St. John) and the clover flowers, typical of the tradition of June 23rd.
In the PDF that you will find below, some characteristic corners of Casaril are presented, retracing Erler's activity and allowing you to admire his works.
