After the First World War , the civil engineer Gino Vittorio Ravà lived there , who built the Ponte degli Scalzi and invented a restoration method using hydraulic winches.

During the Second World War , the palace was briefly leased to the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , who founded the Associazione futurista Cannaregio 5662 in 1944 .

description

The four-story palace with a very narrow facade facing the Grand Canal has only one triple arched window on each of the two main floors . On the first floor there is a balcony in front of it, on the second floor there are only small window bars.

The ground floor has on the left side the arched portal to the water with a keystone, to which two small, rectangular windows adjoin on the right. All arched openings and the lower part of the ground floor show surfaces made of Istrian limestone .

On the third floor there are four rectangular windows with a balcony in front of them. While the two middle ones have a common balcony with iron bars, the two outer windows each have their own balcony.
