POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI
The sculpture park CieloStellato consists of 21 big sculptures located in the natural reserve Vallette di Ostellato. The sculptures were included in the park through the realization of a three-year program, a Sculpture Symposium from 1998 to 2000. Sky and stars are the themes that inspired the artists, who created works so different from each other and with both contemporary and traditional materials.

RELEVANT INFORMATION
Type of tourist experience
A walk in the Sculpture Park is an essential part of the Vallette Natural Reserve experience year-round. This is where you can really see how the buildings blend into the landscape. You can also explore, get lost, and find calm. Of the 21 sculptures in the park, some are remarkable and easily distinguished, others are almost hidden or blending into the surroundings in an almost mysterious way. The special interplay with nature, the view, the weather and the changing of the seasons makes for totally different experiences of the same figures.
