Palazzo Muti Baglioni is a Venetian palace located in the San Polo district near the Church of San Cassiano.
As suggested by more than one art historian, it was built in 1602 on the basis of popular buildings purchased by the Muti family for the sole purpose of demolishing them. The family maintained the property until the end of the 17th century. It was bought twice by the Acquisti family in 1670 and in 1679. In 1686 this family became part of the patriciate. It then passed to the Verzi family. On February 23, 1737, the building was seriously damaged by a fire that broke out during a wedding reception in the adjacent house. In 1742 the palace had already been rebuilt and was preparing to host the Duke of Modena Francesco d'Este. After this date, interior decoration works were carried out, according to the genre of stucco and fresco. In 1750 it was bought by the Baglioni and then by the Da Mosto, who still maintain the property today, in 1919
The building, located on a particularly narrow calle, is not very visible to those who do not have a boat as its facade, largely developed in length, can only be glimpsed from the Ponte della Malvasia. The palace is the tallest private building in Venice, reaching 27 meters at roof level. The architect is anonymous. The building has two identical facades, one along the Rio di San Cassiano and the other on Calle Muti, severe, similar to that of Palazzo Da Ponte and the other buildings inspired by it. Both facades are characterized by the overlapping of serliane, flanked by single lancet windows. The only decorated opening is the central one. On the ground floor both have three doors, the side ones of which give access to corridors, perhaps once a portico, built to disengage the main floors by leading directly to the stairs.
