Palazzo Morosini Brandolin, Venice

Palazzo Morosini Brandolin is a palace in Venice located in the San Polo district and overlooking the right bank of the Grand Canal, opposite the Ca' d'Oro palace.

 

History

The Morosini family built the palace in the second half of the fifteenth century, taking up the style of Ca' Foscari. In the eighteenth century the property passed to the Brandolini family, subsequently to the Lagos, to the Topans. Currently the building is divided into different properties.

 

Architecture

The palace is an example of Venetian flowery Gothic. The current façade has an ashlar ground floor with two portals and two noble floors made up of central hexaphoras and pairs of lateral single-lancet windows. On the first floor, the hexaphores have an ogival arch while on the second floor they have the typical arches with pierced quadrilobes. In the 19th century, a third noble floor was demolished, probably for static reasons.
