ME CANOVA, EUROPEAN GENIUS

Considered by his contemporaries to be the greatest living artist, Antonio Canova was celebrated as the one who had brought sculpture back to those sublime heights that were believed to be only due to classical statuary. Witness of a period of great historical and political upheavals, the humble stonemason from Possagno conquered the international art scene, competing with the greats of his time and contributing to the recovery of masterpieces through important diplomatic missions.

The man, the artist, the collector, the diplomat are the many aspects brought to light for the first time by this exhibition with which the Civic Museums of Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, custodians of one of the collections of Canova’s works and documents large and important in the world, they pay homage to the greatest sculptor of the neoclassical era on the bicentenary of his death. About 140 works including sculptures, paintings, drawings and precious books, some of which presented to the public for the first time, guide the visitor on an ideal journey in the footsteps of Canova, from the creative universe of his atelier to the great capitals of the old continent, to discover the episodes and encounters with the characters that determined the course of his life and of European history.

In Bassano del Grappa, in the province of Vicenza, until 26 February 2023. Bassano can be reached from Vicenza and from our Relais Santa Corona in about 40 minutes by car.

Opening of the patrol path in Marostica

It is one of the most popular scenic routes for tourists. Easily practicable, it leads to a visit to the upper part of the walled city, passing through Piazza Ortigara in Borgo Giara, the original settlement of Marostica. Entering through Porta Bassano, follow the mighty Scaliger walls closely, taking us towards the Carmini Church, and then take the Monte Pausolino path that leads to the Upper Castle in the middle of a large and shady olive plantation. From here you return to the starting point by retracing your steps or by taking the “Antica Strada dei Frati” path, so called because it connected the parish churches along the route that went from the right bank of the Brenta to Thiene. Take it as soon as you leave the East Gate of the Upper Castle and descend to the north of the manor following the appropriate signs.
