Our new excursion for il Faro students: Gipsoteca di Canova (Possagno - Treviso)

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!
