Welcome in web site of the Istituto Musicale Canoviano
"Antonio Canova is a protagonist of European neoclassicism, a great Italian artist recognixed and appreciated throughout the civilized world.
Born and bred in Possagno, he was fervently admired in by kings, popes, emperors, artists and men of letter. Always open to human solidarity, he knew no hate and always helped others, and when he could, he wanted his art to serve high and humanitarian purposes. He spread around him, together fine things, the religion of love." (Treccani)
In a setting of art and nature, at the foot of the Grappa Massif, the Istituto Musicale Canoviano have honoured Canova and his artwork by mean the music for fifteen year, and honours itself by using his name.
