"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Original relief in bellerophon stone from Annatal valley

St. George with the dragon

St. George by an innovator

The small bellerophon cuboid depicting St. George slaying the dragon was created by Luis Piazza da Cudan (born 1908). The work reflects Piazza's love of stylisation, which marked him out as one of the more innovative Gröden artists. A bronze copy of the original relief adorns the upper part of the fountain on the porphyry trough in front of the museum.
