Possagno
is the home of the greatest neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova.
Excellent
sculptor, known all over the world, left his great art heritage in
his own Birth-house and in the nearby solemn Gipsoteca built in 1836
that collects almost all his plaster cast models, terracotta scale
models, drawings and paintings.
Today
this museum constitutes a necessary reference point for all the
museums in the world that jealously preserve the marble masterpieces,
expressions of his talent: the Musée du Louvre, the Ermitage of S.
Petersburg, the Victoria and Albert Museum of London, the Apsley
House in London, the Augustinerkirche, the Hofburg and
Kunsthistorisches Museum of Wien...
Possagno
represents the place where you can meet Canova’s culture.
Don't
miss this opportunity!
