Canova22: Exhibition Space Opens in Antonio Canova's Former Kiln in Rome
Giorgia Basili, born in Rome in 1992, holds a degree in Cultural Heritage Sciences with a thesis on Salvator Rosa's Satire of Painting, and specialized in Art History at Sapienza University. She curated an exhibition titled "Cartografie di un sogno" at Canova22, a new exhibition space located in the former kiln (fornace) of Antonio Canova in Rome. The show features works by Franz Prati, including pastels, chalks, and Pilot on cardboard measuring 80 x 70 cm, as well as a terracotta piece titled "Van Wees, Zattere" (55 x 40 cm) from 2022. The space, named after the neoclassical sculptor's historic workshop, aims to revive the site's artistic legacy. The exhibition is presented by Artribune, which also offers a WhatsApp channel and a daily newsletter called Lettera for art news updates.
