Ca' Biondetti is a civil building located in the city of Venice in the Dorsoduro district, overlooking the Grand Canal between Palazzo Da Mula Morosini and Palazzo Venier dei Leoni. It has become known for being the home of the famous painter Rosalba Carriera.
The building, inhabited for a long time by the Biondetti family, became the residence of the eighteenth-century portraitist Rosalba Carriera, known for the precision of her touch and for the magnificence of her colours.
The architecture does not present elements of particular importance:
the building appears as the sum of two connected bodies and for this
reason it is distinguished by two water gates. On the first floor there
are two balconies while a watchtower rises above the roof of the
building.
On the back there is a large garden, adjacent to that
of the adjacent Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, which has a circular fountain
in the centre.
