The Palace was built by a rich family and remained in their possession until the fall of the Republic.
As members of the Venetian Nobility, they are particularly remembered for having provided the city with one of the last important Doges- who was also a noted man of letters.
It is situated on the Canale Santa Margherita and faces the beautiful façade of the Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini. Today, it still boasts a number of remarkable artistic and architectural features which bear witness to its noteworthy history; these can be found both on the exterior of the building and within the individual apartments. The Dorsoduro 941 apartment is reached via a charming internal courtyard and grand archway. One side looks onto the park, whilst the other looks onto the small orchard gardens of surrounding buildings. An elegant little building known as the “Library” provides a delightful back-drop to this famous park. It was built by the Doge-Scholar in the middle of the 18th Century at the time of the last important enlargement and restoration of the palace.
