Very active with the production of tiles, Possagno is a really famous
town, also thanks to the memory of Antionio Canova. In
Possagno in fact there is his native house, preserved unchanged like it
was in the last years of his life, with the paintings, incisions, tempers
and the documents: an inestimable museum
(www.museocanova.it). In front of his house, at the end of a slope, there
is the imposing Canovian Temple (1819-1830), by himself
planned and financed.
From the house of Canova, you can access to the Gipsotec,
which preserves the sketches and casts left by the artist in his study
room.
It was widened in 1992, with a new part projected by Carlo Scarpa, it
has now three floors. From there you can enter a wide park with long path
which lead into a luxuriant vegetation.
