Perducci House, Venice

Casa Perducci is a palace in Venice, located in the Cannaregio district, overlooking the left side of the Grand Canal, between Palazzo Civran and Palazzo Ruzzini, just before the Fontego dei Tedeschi.

 

Description

The small palace has three floors and a garret. In the middle of the ground floor is a pointed arch portal to the water, which is adjoined on the left by three single, full-height, rectangular windows. The one on the right is only half as wide as the other two. They are of recent date, as is the single-storey annexe on the right-hand side of the façade, which has a central double rectangular window flanked by two single latticed windows.

On the first floor, in the center of the façade, is a double lancet window flanked by two pairs of single lancet windows. All of these windows are also floor to ceiling. There is a terrace on the roof of the one-storey extension on the right side of the facade. The double window is provided with a balcony with a stone balustrade.

The second floor is lower than the first, but has the same window layout as this. The windows are also lower and bricked up. The middle double window has a balcony with cast iron railing.

On the roof, above the central double window of the second floor, there is a more recent gable dormer with a small rectangular double window. To the left of it, towards the Palazzo Civran one floor higher, is a wooden platform with a similar railing on the roof.
