Art in Ice: International snow-sculptures competition in Livignio
Every December Livigno hosts the annual international Art in Ice competition, where ten teams of three sculptors compete to transform three-metre blocks of pressed snow into works of art. The artists may use any manual tools and techniques in the execution of their projects. Art in Ice is the theme of this competition, so the artists are free to interpret art and snow as they please.
Weather permitting, the sculptures stay on display until March, when the spring sun slowly begins to melt them, remodeling their shapes into something totally unexpected.
