Tomb of Leonardo Pesaro

Antonio Canova

Basilica of San Marco Evangelista in Campidoglio

DESCRIZIONE:
This is a funeral monument for the son, dead at only six years old, of the last ambassador of Venice that lived in the adjoining building. Canova was always a part of the neighborhood: he lived in the building when he came to Rome in 1779 and later created an academy for young sculptors.
