Museo Pietro Canonica

---

Pietro Canonica (1869-1959) was an internationally-feted sculptor and the Pietro Canonica Museum is one of Rome's hidden gems.

The museum is housed in La Fortezzuola (the small fortress), a 17th century building in the grounds of Villa Borghese, where Canonica lived and worked from 1927 until his death in 1959. 

In addition to seeing a wide range of Canonica's work, it is also possible to visit his richly-furnished apartment.
