Venice Palaces
Palace 1

The Palace constitutes an interesting repertoire of art from the 14th to the 18th century.

It is an ogival building in gothic style. The precious facade that looks at the canal , lying at the back, has a special worth. This facade is ennobled by the elegant quadriform gothic windows, with jutting balconies and balustrade in the shape of high little columns. It reminds the Ca' Foscari Palace for its great regularity.

The ceiling of the central hall, in the style of Sansovino, was set up and incised at the end of the 16th century at the same time of the marble wall of the doors. In the early years of the 18th century the ceiling of the Beatrice room was painted by order of the daughter of Bonifazio Papa, and she was very keen on hunting. Because of the previous uses of the Palace, it was chosen the technique of the fresco with the Venetian themes, lacking in any reference to spaces and places.

Palace 6

the Building Complex is the result of a centennial series of architectural and decorative interventions.  During the fifteenth century, the campus was extended by the addition of an external archway by Pietro Lombardo and the Scalone Monumentale (great staircase): noble access to the Chapter Room by Mauro Codussi, a great architect from the Venetian early Renaissance.

At the end of the century, a grandiose series of "teleri" (i.e. paintings on large canvases, mounted on frames) such as the Miracles of the Cros) by Vittore Carpaccio; Gentile Bellini and others, were placed to adorn the decorative display of the Oratory.

The final major architectural modifications to the Capitolare Hall and the east and west wings were done by George Massari in the first half of the 18th century.

The ballroom and three salons of the piano nobile—the section of the palazzo offered for holding events—are elaborately gilded, hung with 19th-century Murano glass chandeliers, and painted with frescoes by Cesare Rotta. The floors are mother-of-pearl terrazzo, and in the family's private suites upstairs is a Tiepolo ceiling. The ballroom has three huge windows framing a balcony on the Grand Canal. Come summer, the garden, one of the largest in Venice, blooms with roses and wisteria.
