A temporary conservation studio has opened in Canova's old kitchens at the Casa Canova in Possagno. The studio will be busy making detailed studies of the artist's works in time for next year's 200th Anniversary of the sculptor's death. The first artwork that will be investigated is the artist's 1799 self-portrait (pictured), completed when the sculptor had turned to painting.
