Canova illuminato – The Tadini Stele by candlelight
From Friday 27 September 2024 to Saturday 28 September 2024
On Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September 2024, the extraordinary opening of the Tadini Chapel with free admission returns.
The event will take place at the Galleria dell’Accademia with entrance in via Tadini 40 in Lovere from 9:00 pm until 11:00.
In the Tadini family chapel, in the centre of the courtyard, there is the marble created by Antonio Canova, between September 1819 and April 1821, dedicated to the memory of his friend Faustino. The work will be illuminated by candlelight, for an intimate and evocative vision that returns it to the public, just as its author and Count Tadini contemplated it more than two hundred years ago.
