Sr. Paola Baldo, fsp, was one of the contestants in this year’s Toblinarte Contest–an Art and Photography Competition held in Conca di Toblino, Trent. Her entry–a painting of a castle in acrylics on canvas–won first prize in the event.
Sr. Paola had this to say about it: “I have been attached to this particular castle ever since I was a child. I was born only 2 km. from it and when I was small I would often visit it. I am delighted to have participated in the contest not just because I won first prize but above all because of my ties to this beautiful part of the country.” Historic Toblin Castle, one of the most famous castles in the Trent region, was built in 1500 A.D. on a small island in the middle of Lake Toblin.
Rebuilt by Cardinal Bernardo Clesio, it is visited today by many locals and tourists, who are attracted not only to the monument but also its beautiful setting. Our congratulations and best wishes to Sr. Paola.
