Bianco Avorio

This traditional “Vicenza Stone” par excellence is characterized by its light ivory colour. It is the result of the sedimentation of innumerable minute fossils algae, which create its thin and flowery texture.

It is the most popular stone for classical sculptures, and it is particularly suitable for internal and external claddings, internal floors and staircases, and every other building component.

Euridice, (together with Orfeo) is part of sculptural group of work by the young Antonio Canova, called "Le Morosette".

The statues, made in Vicenza Stone (bianca) are carved directly from the block and represent the beginning of the great artistic career of the Canova.

They are now shown in the ballroom at the Correr Museum in Venice.
