Vittorio Sgarbi will no longer be president of the Fondazione Canova. The announcement, as reported by the Gazzettino, was made by the mayor of Possagno in response to the social appeals against the undersecretary for Culture after the insults and obscene gestures recorded by 'Report', which represent just the latest step in an already deteriorated relationship. "We have extended this board to close the Canova events," announced Valerio Favero. But I already informed Sgarbi in December of my decision not to proceed with the renewal of his appointment'. A choice matured 'before the enquiry, but without a doubt what we have seen on television is anything but edifying'.
Also confirming the mayor's choice is Giancarlo Cunial, former professor of history at the Cavanis and collaborator of Fondazione Canova from 2001 to 2022. The museo Gypsotheca Antonio Canova di Possagno (video) managed by the Fondazione Canova preserves the historical and artistic legacy of the greatest sculptor of the Neoclassical period.
