About Wood Festival
A festival dedicated to the art of wood
The Wood Festival in Corio is a local event that highlights an ancient and still vibrant tradition: woodworking. In the heart of this town in the Lanzo Valleys, within the Canavese area of the Province of Turin, local sculptors and carpenters gather to demonstrate their skills live. It is a rare opportunity to watch expert hands transform simple logs into sculptures, furniture, and unique objects.
What to see in the town square
The main attraction is the live demonstration: artisans work in front of visitors, explaining their tools, the choice of wood types, and the seasoning process. Surrounding them is a market featuring stalls with local products and handmade crafts, offering the chance to discover and purchase unique creations.
- Live demonstrations of sculpture and carpentry
- Stalls with local food products and traditional crafts
- Exhibitors of handmade goods and creative works
- A charming village atmosphere, suitable for families and children
Corio and the Lanzo Valleys
Corio is a village nestled in the greenery of the Piedmontese foothills, where wood has always been the primary material for homes, tools, and everyday objects. Promoting this tradition means sharing the identity of a mountain territory where craftsmanship remains a common heritage. The Wood Festival is part of the calendar of events that bring the Lanzo Valleys to life, blending nature, traditional skills, and a taste for genuine local products.
Who is it for?
The event is free and informal: visitors can stroll around, stop to watch a carving demonstration, or chat with the artisans. It is ideal for those seeking an authentic day trip near Turin, away from the crowds and in touch with the local life of the Canavese region.
