Palazzo Barbaro a San Vidal
Palazzo Barbaro a San Vidal is a complex of two palaces in Venice in the Italian region of Veneto . The two buildings, Palazzo Barbaro and Palazzo Barbaro-Curtis , are located in the Sestiere San Marco with a view of the Grand Canal between the Palaces Cavalli-Franchetti and Benzon Foscolo , opposite the Palazzo Balbi-Valier Sammartini .
history
The older part of the building complex, the Palazzo Barbaro-Curtis (left), dates from 1425 and was built according to plans by Bartolomeo Bon as the noble residence of the noble Spiera family . When this branch of the family died out, Zaccaria Barbaro bought the palace.
The building on the right is simply called "Palazzo Barbaro" and is an extension of the above-mentioned old part, which was built in 1690 according to plans by Antonio Gaspari , the architect of Ca 'Zenobio degli Armeni . There is a wonderful ballroom there, which has been superbly preserved. In this new section, Giambattista Tiepolo's handwriting was in demand for the interior decoration, although it was completely lost in the course of the 19th century.
In the second half of the 19th century, after the Barbaro family died out, the Curtis-Conte family bought the two palaces that they still own today. They housed the great writer Henry James for longer than planned during the restoration . In 2000 and 2001 the facade was completely restored and painted.
