Ethnographic Museum of Friuli
via Grazzano 1 Udine – Palazzo Giacomelli
from 15 November 2024 to 9 February 2025
Fridays-Sundays 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
The photographic exhibition K. I diavoli delle foreste (K. The Forests' Devils) is the result of a five-year project by the photographer Roberto Masiero (Padua 1974 - ) in the Tarvisio area. The artist's objective is to tell the story of the persistence and evolution of a popular tradition through its most frightening protagonists, the Krampus, not only during the day dedicated to Saint Nicholas, but all year round. It's a powerful show that celebrates also the rich natural heritage of the thousand-year-old forest of Tarvisio.
The exhibition is divided into two distinct sections: the first highlights, through audiovisual material dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, the typical features of the tradition. This is followed by a section dedicated to the photographs that Roberto Masiero took in collaboration with the Val Canale Krampus groups during his years of research.
The exhibition is organised thanks to the contribution of the Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia (Cultural Activities and Events for Christmas 2024) and with the patronage of GO! 2025 Nuova Gorica-Gorizia, City of Tarvisio, Mountain Community of Canal del Ferro and Val Canale, Open Leader S.Cons.A.R.L.
