Palazzo Salvadori Tiepolo is a palace in Venice located in the San Marco district, overlooking the San Gaetano court, adjacent to the San Fantin field.
Built at the end of the 14th century by Daniele del fu Giovanni
Salvador, it was completed around 1400.
Giuseppe Tassini (Palazzo
Tiepolo, campo san Fantino, n.a. 1997) writes: "It overlooks the Rio dei
Barcaroli with its small ogival elevation, and was built in the 15th
century to the credit of the Salvadors [..] "Still in the courtyard you
can see a beautiful well curb in red marble neck Salvador coat of arms.
This palace, disfigured and tampered with in various parts, passed,
after other owners, to a branch of the Tiepolo family, therefore known
as da San Fantino, which at the beginning of the present century, having
fallen into low fortune, died out in a Girolamo q. Almorò". And always
the same, on the Salvador family: "The Salvador family, who came from
Tuscany, who bought by trading quite a lot of wealth, who owned
buildings in the parishes of S. Fantino and Angelo Raffaele, who
produced a Daniele Guardiano Grande , in 1427, of the confraternity of
S. Maria della Carità, and which, through marriages, contracted affinity
with the most conspicuous patrician families of Venice, that is with the
Baffo, Barbarigo, Bembo, Contarini, Dandolo, Michiel and Morosini".
Today it is called Palazzo Salvadori Tiepolo and is divided into
street numbers 1979-82 and 1997 in Corte San Gaetano and Campo San
Fantin. The magnificent well curb in red Verona stone was sold in the
early 1880s and we have a description of it by Tassini and an
eighteenth-century drawing by Giovanni Grevembroch. In the second half
of the fifteenth century, through Chiara of the late Giovanni Salvador,
the palace passed to the Baffo family and then, through various
passages, to the Tiepolos who kept it until the beginning of the 1800s.
As for the date of construction, it took place by the hand of Daniel
q. Giovanni Salvador between 1394 and 1400. In fact he did not live
there yet on 22 June 1394 (he resided in S. Salvador), while he lived
there in 1400, at the marriage of his daughter Madaluzza, with the nob.
Luca Dandolo. Various scholars have been interested in this building and
the most in-depth research is that of Giorgio Bellavitis. Often, when
mentioning it, it is mistaken for a portion of Ca' Molin with which it
has nothing to do. The main facade faces Rio de Barcaroli and can be
admired from the Frezzeria swimming pool bridge.
