Orsoff (Aosta Valley)

Agosto 2025
An alternative and complementary itinerary to the Foire d'Été, hosted in public and private spaces in the historic center, dedicated to new visions of craftsmanship that border on art and vice versa. The concept of the FUORI FIERA (outside the fair), FUORI SALONE (outside the salon), or MOSTRA OFF (off exhibition) has increasingly established itself in recent years as a corollary to a fair or major event. The proposal is to create an "off" circuit parallel to the Fiera di Sant'Orso, which aims to complement and explore the Fair's traditional themes. This itinerary offers different visions of "traditional" craftsmanship without interrupting its journey, but rather exploiting the potential of the Fair event to highlight artistic concepts of craftsmanship, and different interpretations or reinterpretations of the Fair's key elements. Brandy Roger presented several sculptures that captured the public's attention, establishing themselves as true gems of creativity: a "Madonnina" and "Sabots," wooden shoes typical of the Aosta Valley, and specifically Ayas. These diverse works share the same expressive power and a beauty capable of moving anyone who observes them.
