Palazzo Memmo Martinengo Mandelli, Venice

Palazzo Memmo Martinengo Mandelli is a palace in Venice, located in the Cannaregio district, overlooking the left side of the Grand Canal, between Palazzo Gritti Dandolo and the Church of San Marcuola

 

History

Built during the 18th century and renovated during the following, it was the home of Andrea Memmo, elected prosecutor in 1775, but best known for his friendship with Giacomo Casanova. It housed public offices: the District Office of Direct Taxes, the Regional Revenue Office and now the Court of Auditors.

 

Architecture

Characterized by presenting for each of the three levels the most important opening (window wider than the others or portal) moved to the left side of the elevation, its facade appears divided into levels thanks to the use of frames and bands in Istrian stone, that connect sills, windows, lintels. The ground floor is rusticated. The building develops in depth and has both a central courtyard and a garden.
