About Gaudenz Canova

  • Gaudenz Canova (31 December 1887, Domat/Ems – 21 January 1962) was a Swiss socialist from GraubĂĽnden (Grisons). A lawyer and Social Democratic politician, Canova was a member of the National Council from his native canton in 1922–1925 and 1928–1935.
  • He continued to be elected to political offices in GraubĂĽnden into the 1940s. His political career is notable for his 1925 conviction for blasphemy and his participation in the Swiss left's struggle against fascism and pro-Nazi sentiment in the 1930s.
  • Canova's 1940 condemnation of fascism in an opening speech before the Grand Council of GraubĂĽnden remained unpublished as a result of censorship until long after his death.
