Museo Gipsoteca Pietro Della Vedova
Vittorio Veneto, Treviso · Italy
A small gipsoteca (plaster cast museum) in Vittorio Veneto dedicated to 19th-century sculptor Pietro Della Vedova. Today it stands as one of Vittorio Veneto's most compelling cultural sites, offering an intimate encounter with Pietro Della Vedova's work and life.
The sculptor's studio rewards careful exploration. Its plaster casts, dating from the 19th century, sets it apart from more conventional museums. The influence of Italian Neoclassicism is evident throughout.
Visiting Museo Gipsoteca Pietro Della Vedova is a genuinely rewarding experience. The urban setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering Pietro Della Vedova's work and life in a real place rather than a purpose-built gallery. Allow at least an hour and a half to do it justice.
