History and tradition of wooden sculptures

For over 100 years the artists of the company Giuseppe Stuflesser have created sacred art sculptures of the highest quality with attention to the smallest details.

Giuseppe Stuflesser & Co. – Ars Sacra was founded in 1910, at the same time the new workshop was set up. Giuseppe Stuflesser, the founder of the workshop, was born in 1887 in Ortisei and started his own business after gaining experience in his father Fernando’s workshop. That time was certainly the golden age of Val Gardena craft industry. Giuseppe Stuflesser’s workshop was reached by a high number of orders, especially for fashioning altars. This way tradition was preserved for three more generations. Today Giuseppe Stuflesser & Co. is well-known in parishes, places of pilgrimage, monasteries, diocesan towns, kindergartens, institutes, hospitals and also with prayer groups and private indiviuals all over the world.
