The new Vaia Dragon (officially 'Drago Vaia Regeneration') is spectacular, imposing, and completely different from its predecessor: larger, more menacing, and above all more enraged by the human stupidity that destroys nature and art, a fact exemplified by the anonymous arson attack on the previous work. It has literally been reborn from the work that burned on the night of August 23, 2023: in addition to sharing the same position, 10-15% of the wood was recovered from the previous dragon. A symbol of rebirth and resilience.

[DISCLAIMER: This comment—like many photos—referred to the first Vaia Dragon, completely destroyed by arson on the night of August 29, 2023; however, Komoot removed the highlight because it related to something that no longer exists and therefore cannot be visited, unifying it with the new work called 'Drago Vaia Regeneration'.]

A spectacular and majestic work by artist Marco Martalar, created on site with branches, trunks, and roots of trees felled by Storm Vaia in the fall of 2018: a guardian of nature, a symbol of its devastating force and a reminder to respect it.
