Palazzo Marcello Toderini is a palace in Venice, located in the Santa Croce district, overlooking the right side of the Grand Canal, located opposite the entrance to the Cannaregio canal.
The small palace dates back to the 17th century. It was built by the old noble Roman family Marcello. Two Doges emerged from it: Marcello Tegalliano (717-726) and Nicolò Marcello (1473-1474). Best known, however, are two brothers from this family who became musicians: Alessandro Marcello (1684-1750) and Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739).
The Palazzo Marcello Toderini has three stories. The ground floor
portal to Riva de Biasio is also rectangular, as are the two pairs of
single windows that flank it. The main floor features a large central
Venetian window with a projecting balustraded balcony. This window is
framed by two pairs of single mullioned windows set in half-column
frames. There is a decorative cornice above the Venetian window, the
central part of which has a mascaron in the round arch. The mezzanine
floor under the roof has a window layout corresponding to the main
floor: three single rectangular windows sit above the Venetian window,
flanked by two pairs of single rectangular windows. The plastered and
white-painted facade ends at the top with a serrated eaves.
There
is a large garden behind the palace.
