Palazzo Duodo in Sant'Angelo is a palace in Venice, located in the San Marco district (3584) and overlooking Campo Sant'Angelo.
Dating back to the 15th century, it was presumably wanted by the
Duodos or, perhaps, it passed to them after being a Zen. It remained in
the family that gives it its name until the 19th century, when it was
sold to various owners.
In 1801, when it was used as a hotel,
Palazzo Duodo was the place of death of Domenico Cimarosa, the great
Neapolitan musician.
In the twentieth century it became the local
headquarters of the Ministry of Labour, to be sold in 1986 to ENI;
refurbished in 2006 for office use, it was put up for sale in 2014.
Three-story building with mezzanine, Palazzo Duodo, Gothic
architecture, shows a facade in classical materials: brick and Istrian
stone.
It boasts a Gothic portal on the ground floor; on the main
floor an elegant hexaphora opens centrally inserted in a marble frame,
as well as the four single-lancet windows on its sides.
The
second floor, with smaller openings, is remembered for a central
three-mullioned window.
Inside, the building has a courtyard with
an ancient well in the centre.
