The  American Wild West
A Sand Sculpture Opera written and directed by Sultans Of Sand Worldwide. Produced by the City of Jesolo, Italy. Summer 2007

...Click on these smaller images to enlarge them :)   Sergio Luciano is a doctor of pediatrics specializing in neo natal intensive care in his home town and region of Santos, Brazil.  He is also a sincere and fun-loving person who is dedicated to the art form of sand, seemingly as much or more than most touring pros working in this craft today.   He claims he is only an assistant to his wife Gisele Prata Real, Who also is the chief designer and sculptor of this piece, but he has all the enthusiasm (and then some) of any master sand sculptor I ever met. He is bent on getting a pro class sand event started in Brazil, and I hope he has the greatest success with that. His first time in Jesolo, I certainly hope he will come again. He is a  real sweetheart of a guy.

Bronco Buster and Cowpokes By Gisele Prata Real and Sergio Luciano Santos, Brazil Photo by Jorge Weigand   Bronco busting and bull riding are action packed activities right out of the old west that are still practiced today in the comercial setting, though on a more limited basis.  A man who could tame wild horses to be safely ridden was an important man on the ranch of the old west. And cattle drovers led a rugged life moving herds of cattle across the country for sale and distribution. Both jobs were hard work and commanded respect.  In todays modern and mechanized world, there is not a big demand for these trades as much, but they are still practiced. The modern Rodeo is a direct offshoot of the activities of these rugged people.
