The Winged Dragon of Vaia is a work by the artist Marco Martalar built with scrap wood in memory of the Vaia storm of 2018.

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.
