Palazzo Bellavite is a 16th century Venetian palace, located in Campo San Maurizio, in the San Marco district. It is also known as Palazzo Bellavite Baffo, because the last member of the Baffo family lived there.
Built for Dionisio Bellavite in the early sixteenth century in place
of the old bell tower of the church of San Maurizio, the building, on
four levels, is characterized by the presence on the facade of two
superimposed serliane.
The interiors are from the eighteenth century;
it is known that the building was frescoed during the 16th century by
Paolo Veronese, but nothing remains of this work.
The frescoes now
visible are from the eighteenth century, attributed to Pietro Antonio
Novelli.
Once a prestigious residence, the building is now home to a
study center and offices.
