The palace was built in the 14th century. The family of the 65th Doge of Venice, Francesco Foscari, lived there in the 16th century . In the 19th century it was one of the houses of Giovanni Stucky , an engineer of Swiss origin who converted the mills in Venice into a modern factory.
Until 2006 the palace was the seat of the Luigi Nono Musical Archive . Since 2006 it has housed a gallery for modern and contemporary art, which has the same name as the address of the building: Giudecca 795 .
description
The palace has three floors. The plastered, pink-painted facade facing the Canale della Giudecca has a basket arch portal in the middle on the ground floor , flanked by six individual basket arch windows, of which the second from the left has been converted into a door.
On the first main floor there is a quadruple three-pass window in the middle , surrounded by a rectangular frame and with a shared, protruding stone balcony . This window is flanked by two pairs of similar single windows without a balcony.
