Ca' Pesaro

Where Fondamenta de Ca' Pesaro, 2075, Venezia

The grand Palace, now headquarters of the International Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Oriental Art in Venice, was designed in the '600 by the architect Baldassarre Longhena, by the will of the rich and noble Pesaro family. Ca 'Pesaro overlooking the Grand Canal and is considered one of the most important Venetian palaces for mole and decorative quality. The main facade is decorated with Baroque reliefs and statues from strong plastic connotation. The ground floor has a decoration in rusticated diamond, surrounding a double gate for water. The main floors are characterized by the presence of seven arches heavily decorated, separated by projecting columns which doubled at the load-bearing walls. No less important is the front side, slightly curved, designed later. From the splendor of the outside you can well imagine the original richness of rooms and halls, but for which there is almost nothing, apart from some fresco.
