	The home of famous neo-classical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) is just across the Via del Corso.
	Nearby, too, is Canova's shop, now a restaurant that features the plaster molds used for casting his bronze statues.

	There are several nearby supermarkets but it is always more interesting to visit the neighborhood "alimentari" with personal service.
	Donna in Piazza di Spagna (Woman in Piazza di Spagna) Irving Layton This morning I had spaghetti al pomodoro with your wraith after we'd greeted each other at the Piazza di Spagna It had your perfect mouth your smiling melancholy eyes and stroked my hand without cease; smiles fell on me from the air Who thought of thievish Romans the violence in the streets or in one's own soul? Once more you worked your miracles Only when I pressed against you did you recede and disappear and my aching fingers embraced A vanishing waistline of air Love, so long as I draw breath this city is you, and I shall always see you Sitting on the steps of the Piazza Surrounded by flowers and ruins
