Ca 'Amalteo
Ca 'Amalteo is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Sestiere San Polo with a view of the Rio di San Stin and the Rio San Polo next to the Ca 'Donà a San Stin and opposite the Palazzo Corner Mocenigo .
history
The building dates from the end of the 16th century. It still belongs to the Amalteo family , who originally came from Oderzo . It was not until the 19th century that it belonged to the Venetian patriciate, thanks to Austrian rule. But even before that, many well-known writers and poets emerged from this family. Her best-known offspring, however, was Ottavio Amalteo (1543–1627), a doctor known throughout Europe.
