Ca' Bernardo, Venice

Ca' Bernardo, not to be confused with the palace of the same name located in the San Polo district, better known as Palazzo Giustinian Bernardo, is a Venetian civil building, located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal. It is located between Palazzo Giustinian and Palazzo Bernardo Nani, not far from Ca' Rezzonico and Ca' Foscari.

 

History

Palazzetto with a typical seventeenth-century appearance, it belonged to the Giustinian and Bernardo families. Today it is the university seat.

 

Architecture

Building with a truly singular and atypical architecture, unfinished on the right wing starting from the second floor, it has a facade characterized by elegantly stacked elongated round-headed mullioned windows. The front is organized on four levels: the ground floor opens with a double ogival water portal, while the two main floors seem to reject the traditional mullioned window, offering a truly rare solution.
