Located in the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in Fratta di Tarzo, it is a historic symbol of Venetian identity. Made from over 3,000 pieces of tree roots felled by Storm Vaia, it is the largest wooden lion in the world, standing over 7 meters tall and 10 meters long. The work embodies the values of strength, protection, and justice of the Serenissima Republic. A long-standing emblem of the lagoon city and the entire Veneto region, the winged lion is linked not only to the figure of Saint Mark, patron saint of Venice, but also to the region's cultural tradition. It is no coincidence that it is the central element of the flag, first of the Serenissima and now of the Veneto region. The 2018 Storm Vaia, which struck the Alps and vast areas of Northern Italy, left a profound scar on the landscape and local communities. Artist Marco Martalar chose to salvage fallen wood, transforming it into a work that bridges past and present: what was destroyed is reborn as a symbol of resilience and hope. To strengthen the connection with the land, the artist used scrap wood from the vineyards of the World Heritage Hills to create the lion's mane, thus generating a symbolic fusion between nature and local culture. This work is also a reflection on the fragility of nature and the need to protect it. The use of materials recovered from devastation evokes the idea that even destruction can give rise to something extraordinary and powerful. The sculpture initiates a dialogue between ancient and contemporary, reviving a traditional symbol in a context of strong environmental and social relevance. In this sense, the winged lion becomes an emblem of adaptation, capable of addressing the challenges of the present, including climate change and biodiversity loss. Its presence recalls the regenerative power of nature and the landscape. The work, located in the municipality of Tarzo, was desired and commissioned by the Association for the Heritage of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.

Monumental.
