history

Built in 1565, what was then Palazzo Cavalli-Gussoni in 1840 became the property of Archduke Friedrich Ferdinand (1821–1847). It was acquired by Duke Henri de Chambord in 1847 and Baron Raimondo Franchetti (1829–1905) in 1878 , married to Sarah Luisa de Rothschild (1834–1924), a daughter of Anselm Rothschild from Vienna. Baron Franchetti had the palace rebuilt in 1896 by the architect Camillo Boito , who designed the rear wing of the building and the staircase in a neo-Gothic style. Finally, in 1922, the property came to the Istituto Federale di Credito bank.

Since 1999, the palace has been the seat of the Venetian scientific and cultural institution Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, alongside the Palazzo Loredan . In December 2003, the WHO European Office for Investment for Health and Development was opened there.
