Description: The Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, monument to Canova.In 1794 Antonio Canova designed and built a model for the tomb of Titian, but there were many difficulties in raising the necessary funds for the construction, so that in 1822, the year of Canova's death, it was still in draft form. Canova was buried in Possagno, his native country, the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice decided to build a monument to preserve the porphyry urn containing the heart of the artist; the work was undertaken by six of his students and completed in 1827.
