Palazzo Bernardo Nani Lucheschi is a Venetian civil building, located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal between Ca' Rezzonico and Palazzo Giustinian Bernardo.
It was built during the 16th century by Alessandro Vittoria. Originally the main facade was the lateral one, overlooking the gardens where Ca' Rezzonico stands today.
Built during the transition period between the Renaissance and the Baroque, it has a facade of extraordinary compactness and regularity, divided into a ground floor, two noble floors and an attic. Following the dictates of Venetian architecture, it organizes its façade around a central axis distinguished by the presence of two three-light balcony windows and the water portal. To the right and left there are pairs of single lancet windows, thus betraying the internal plan, organized around a passing portego, culminating in an atrium with a staircase and identifiable as the median axis for the side rooms. The white front is also characterized by the presence of two coats of arms on the second floor. Another truly valuable element is the rear garden, very well-kept and extraordinarily extensive in length, built during the 19th century.
