Itinerary 3
The Rojale Sculpture Park
Today, Rojale is also known for its contemporary art, particularly the stone sculptures created since 1998 during the annual International Stone Sculpture Symposium of Friuli Venezia Giulia, organized by the local cultural association Il Faro and supported by the municipal administration.
The works created during this important event form a remarkable open-air park-museum, which visitors can explore through Itinerary 3.
The Route
Itinerary 3 is a looped walking route of approximately six kilometres, leading visitors to discover the most significant group of sculptures created during the annual International Stone Sculpture Symposium of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The suggested starting point is the park of the Town Hall of Reana del Rojale in Remugnano. More than twenty sculptures are located around the municipal building and within the civic centre. This first group already offers an appreciation of the variety of styles and subjects chosen by the artists, who worked with different types of stone from Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Continuing north towards the Municipal Auditorium, the route proceeds to Valle and Vergnacco, where the Sculpture Park is located. This is the venue of the symposium, which takes place every year in September and lasts fifteen days.
On the way back, along the streets of Vergnacco, additional works can be admired before returning to Valle. From here, the route follows a section of the Passeggiata delle Rogge cycle and pedestrian path back to Remugnano, where the final group of sculptures is located, leading once again to the starting point.
Sculptures along the route
The works created during the annual International Stone Sculpture Symposium of Friuli Venezia Giulia, organized in Rojale by the cultural association Il Faro, form a remarkable example of an open-air park-museum, which can be explored in greater depth through Itinerary 3.
