Palazzo Emo Diedo

Palazzo Emo Diedo is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Santa Croce sestiere on the Fondamenta di San Simeone Piccolo , overlooking the Grand Canal , halfway between the gardens of the Palazzo Foresti Papadopoli and the Church of San Simeone Piccolo , opposite the Venezia Santa Lucia train station .

history

The palace from the second half of the 17th century is an unfinished project by Andrea Tirali . He built it for the Emo family in an architecture that contrasted with the Baroque architecture in the style of Baldassare Longhena that was prevalent in Venice at the time . Later the palace fell to the Diedo family and received its second part of the name.

Today the Sisters of Charity live there .

description

The classical facade has a ground floor, a main floor and a large mezzanine floor under the roof, so a total of three floors and 20 windows. On the ground floor, the portal to the water is flanked in the middle by two rectangular windows, all of which are set in basement and topped off with a balcony . Above, on the main floor, there is a triple arched window , crowned by a tympanum . The rest of the facade, in which the middle windows are flanked by two pairs of simple windows on each of the two full floors, is quite unadorned. On the mezzanine floor under the roof, six simple, square windows are arranged symmetrically under the serrated eaves . There is a garden at the rear of the building.
