Arte Sella

Arte Sella is an international event on contemporary art which takes place in the forests of the Val di Sella and surprises its visitors with marvelous artworks made of natural materials

Since 1986, the meadows and forests of the Val di Sella, a hamlet of the municipality of Borgo Valsugana, have been hosting an international event on contemporary art. Arte Sella is a creative process, rather than an ordinary art exhibition and artists draw inspiration from nature for their artworks which are based on the relationship and the respect for nature and made of natural materials such as leaves, stones, trunks and branches.

The event takes place in the Val di Sella, along the exhibition paths of the area of Malga Costa and the Cattedrale Vegetale, as well as in the Giardino di Villa Strobele. The area of Malga Costa is a huge park where visitors can discover and admire representations of monuments such as the Cattedrale Vegetale, the Teatro di Arte Sella, Trabucco di Montagna and many others. Malga Costa is also a famous gathering spot provided with performance venues and a theatre room. Since 2016 it is possible to visit the giardino di Villa Strobele, where artworks by world-famous artists are exhibited. Villa Strobele and the area of Malga Costa are connected through the path Sentiero Montura, a 4 km long itinerary where you can enjoy the peaceful nature of the Val di Sella.

In addition to the exhibited artworks you can attend concerts, theatres and many other events of the scheduled event program.
