Ca 'Cassetti is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the San Polo sestiere with a view of the Rio de San Stin on the corner of the Rio die Frari near the Campo San Stin on the bridge of the same name.
history
The building dates from the 17th century. It belonged to the Cassetti family , originally from Brescia . The family, which was very successful in the silk trade , was accepted into the city council in 1662 against payment of 100,000 ducats and thus into a Venetian patriciate and had the palace rebuilt to meet their needs as a patrician family. Today it is divided into different apartments.
