The famous winter sports resort of Merano (Trentino-Alto Adige) has commissioned twenty world-famous creatives to design the Christmas trees that embellish its most important and attractive squares and streets. Entitled Merano Christmas Trees Collection 2014, the initiative was coordinated by architect and design expert Laura Villani and promoted by the local Azienda di Soggiorno (tourism authority). The result is an open air art gallery of sculptures and decorations by artistes of various disciplines, like fashion designers Elio Fiorucci and Rosita Missoni, musician and showman Renzo Arbore, pop singer Patty Pravo, architect Matteo Thun and Merano artist Marcello Jori and designer Sylvia Pichler.
The exhibition flanks the traditional Merano Christmas Market, which attracts crowds of tourists every year and will continue until Epiphany on the 6th January 2015.
