Music room
This room, furnished with chairs, sofas, divans and corner stands of piemontese make from the middle of the seventeenth century, is dominated by the Erard grand piano, on which Pietro Canonica used to compose his musical works. On the music stand, the score of the Medea brings the artists last musical work to mind. The room accommodates a considerable collection of paintings representative of the Piedmontese artists of the second half of the nineteenth century. They are mainly by landscape painters from the Albertina Academy of Turin in which the sculptor trained, artists with whom Canonica had a profound cultural and emotional bond. It is for this reason, rather than their purely historiographic value, that the paintings displayed in this room constitute the most interesting section of Pietro Canonica’s art collection.
