EVENT DESCRIPTION

A visit here will give you a glimpse into the incredible precision the master of neoclassicism put in his work, painstakingly following a method that went from paper to marble, passing through clay and plaster.

Designed in 1836 – fourteen years after Canova’s death – by Francesco Lazzari, by the will of the artist’s step-brother, Giovanni Battista Sartori, the Museum and Cast Gallery welcome the works that had been in the sculptor’s studio in Rome.

In 1957, the great Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa expanded a wing of the gallery, in order to flood the casts with light.
