Palazzo Duodo in Sant'Angelo, Venice

Palazzo Duodo in Sant'Angelo is a palace in Venice, located in the San Marco district (3584) and overlooking Campo Sant'Angelo.

 

History

Dating back to the 15th century, it was presumably wanted by the Duodos or, perhaps, it passed to them after being a Zen. It remained in the family that gives it its name until the 19th century, when it was sold to various owners.

In 1801, when it was used as a hotel, Palazzo Duodo was the place of death of Domenico Cimarosa, the great Neapolitan musician.

In the twentieth century it became the local headquarters of the Ministry of Labour, to be sold in 1986 to ENI; refurbished in 2006 for office use, it was put up for sale in 2014.

 

Description

Three-story building with mezzanine, Palazzo Duodo, Gothic architecture, shows a facade in classical materials: brick and Istrian stone.

It boasts a Gothic portal on the ground floor; on the main floor an elegant hexaphora opens centrally inserted in a marble frame, as well as the four single-lancet windows on its sides.

The second floor, with smaller openings, is remembered for a central three-mullioned window.

Inside, the building has a courtyard with an ancient well in the centre.
