Palazzo Maravegia is an architecture of Venice in the Dorsoduro
district and overlooking the Rio San Trovaso, near the Maravegie bridge.
It was the seat of the homonymous family, linked to the story of
Alessandra Maravegia, a noblewoman who, imprisoned by the Turks, chose
to die for the Serenissima.
Of modest dimensions, the facade of Palazzo Maravegia is
characterized by its fifteenth-century Gothic lines and its pink
plaster.
The ground floor is opened by a simple quadrangular
portal.
The two upper floors have a richer opening, with the
central overlapping of two large ogival trilobate four-light windows:
the one on the first floor is inserted in a marble frame and supported
by polychrome columns of the Corinthian order.
Both quadrifore
are equipped with a balustrade and flanked on both sides by a single
lancet window, the one on the left walled.
On the upper part of
the surface of the facade there are also two small panels with sculpted
floral elements.
