In the heart of Rome; in via del Babuino; the museum;caffe; atelier and 'art restaurant' Canova Tadolini flaunts scowling and benevolent pope busts; simulacra of muscular gods; bas-relieves of pale aristocrats lost in their thoughts; wings that once belonged to Nike or to an archangel; all peeping out of the walls; or making an impression from a pedestal amidst the typical chaos of an art workshop. Here Antonio Canova established the studio he later left to his favorite apprentice; Adamo Tadolini. The atelier belonged to Tadolini's family until 1967.Rome; Italy. 2013.
