Levi Morenos House, Venice

Casa Levi Morenos is a palace in Venice, located in the Cannaregio district, overlooking the left side of the Grand Canal, between Palazzo Contarini Pisani and Palazzo Fontana Rezzonico. It dates back to the 16th century.

 

Description

The three-story L-shaped palace is located at the confluence of the Rio San Felice and the Grand Canal. There is a small garden in front of the palace, facing the Grand Canal and the Rio San Felice.

On the main garden facade facing the Canal Grande, both main floors each have seven individual arched windows, in front of which there is a balcony on the first floor, as well as in front of the three middle ones on the second floor. In the attic above the middle three windows of the second floor is a large dormer of later date with a rectangular window in the middle flanked by two round windows. There is a balcony in front of the dormer. The ground floor is provided with seven rectangular windows or doors to the ground.

The garden facade of the other leg of the L is a continuation of the main garden facade, albeit with only five individual windows per floor. The balcony on the first floor continues on this facade; the second floor has no balcony. The façade of this leg of the L to the Grand Canal has two single arched windows on each main floor; on the ground floor there are two large round arches leading to a small vestibule, separated only by a column.
