Palazzo Salviati, Venice

Palazzo Salviati is a Venetian civil building located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal between Palazzo Barbaro Wolkoff and Palazzo Orio Semitecolo Benzon.

 

History

The building was built as a shop and furnace for the Salviati glassworks between 1903 and 1906, based on a design by the architect Giacomo Dell'Olivo. The company was founded in 1859 by Antonio Salviati. In 1924 the building underwent a profound renovation, which involved raising a floor and placing a large mosaic on the facade.

 

Architecture

The facade, with a rather simple appearance, would be devoid of any interest if it weren't for the presence of the large central mosaic, flanked by round single-lancet windows. The same scheme is also repeated on the upper floor, which also sees the insertion of a central mullioned window. The ground floor is dominated by three large arches.
