Within the framework of the traditional Festivals of the streets Viserta, Manresa, Germans de la Salle and Plaza del Bo-Bo, Monistrol de Montserrat will today premiere the restoration that has been done, in recent months, to the Gegants Wells, who next year will celebrate 110 years. The work, carried out by the Navarrese restorer Aitor Calleja, has allowed the facial features of the original giants to be rescued, such as glass eyes and old hairstyles. In this way, they recover the physiognomy they had in 1914, when they were built in the Barcelona workshop El Ingenio.
The Old Giants of Viserta de Monistrol, Ramir and Constança street, today will show off their renewed image, which recovers the original characteristic features of when they were built more than a century ago. The two centuries-old figures have spent the last few weeks in the workshop of the Navarrese imagery builder Aitor Calleja, in Marcalinin, who has done a careful restoration.
