« Pastoral graffiti : the valley of Fiemme and its wealth of shepherds rock paintings (1550-1950) »
Argumentaire
In a remote cluster of rock sites in the heart of the Dolomites, generations of shepherds have left their red graffiti at the foot of overhanging cliffs numbering at around 50,000 single instances over a time span ranging from 1550 to about 1950. A complete survey of the writings explains the connection between this kind of modern pastoral graffiti and the most ancient conventions of this art.
