Palazzo Moro Lin (called palasso de le trèdese fenestre in Venetian dialect, or palace of the thirteen windows), is a Venetian palace, located in the San Marco district and overlooking the Grand Canal.
The palace was built around 1670, based on a project by Sebastiano Mazzoni and by the will of Pietro Liberi, a painter in Venice. After the painter died, in 1691 the building passed to Antonio Lin, who bought it and furnished it with frescoes, now lost, and other works of art, as well as providing, at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to raise the building by one floor . Around 1942 it was bought by the Milanese industrialist Enrico Ghezzi, who took it over from the Venetian Pascolato family.
Façade of four orders and symmetrically designed.
The ground floor
has seven round arches emerging from the canal and forming a portego, of
which the central one is smaller. The two noble floors and the
eighteenth-century third floor are each crossed by thirteen
single-lancet windows, between which pilasters decorate. The openings of
the main floors, although rectangular like those of the third floor, are
inscribed in a rounded indentation.
The frame that divides the first
noble floor from the ground floor is accompanied by a balustrade, while
the attic has an indented cornice.
The fresco works of Antonio
Bellucci, Antonio Molinari and Gregorio Lazzarini can still be seen
today inside the apartments of the building.
