A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - As we know it, the baita is a small mountain house made primarily of stone and wood, with a sloping roof, almost always gabled, which serves to reduce the snow load that accumulates there during the winter season and facilitate its sliding to the ground. The chalet represents the most elegant and refined version, even the most stately. On the opposite side, the malga, a typical Alpine construction, is the simple and simple refuge for the shepherd and his livestock during the summer grazing season between valleys. Central to the baita and the landscape in which it is usually located is the concept of altitude, of snow-capped and rocky peaks, such as the Dolomite peaks, along with that of shade and coolness, the natural contribution of the meadows and woods that extend all around. The concept of a summit is accompanied by that of a perch and, at times, of outright isolation among the mountains, both gentle and terrifying giants, and thus of unreachability and inaccessibility, which are nevertheless hallmarks of even the most remote mountain huts. Finally, it's hard not to associate the image of a mountain hut with the authenticity of natural products, holidays of the past, and childhood memories.
