Drago Vaia (Vaia Dragon). The sculpture is the work of the artist Marco Martalar. Lavarone, Alpe cimbra, Trentino Alto Adige, northern Italy.
The Winged Dragon of Magré, a district of the municipality of Lavarone, is the world’s largest wooden Dragon. Its construction required months of work, 3,000 screws and 2,000 pieces of wooden debris, including some from the Avez del Prinzep, the 244-year-old silver fir which was the tallest in Europe until it was torn down by the raging storm. The Dragon, with its towering height of 6 metres and a length of 7 metres, seems to have flown straight out of some all-time classic fantasy film. The remarkable nature of this work of art is only enhanced by its impermanence: having been made from untreated wood, it is destined to gradually disappear as time, snow and wind take their toll on it. A Dragon that will return to nature itself.
