Palazzo Loredan Cini is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Dorsoduro sestiere overlooking the Grand Canal between Campo San Vio and Palazzo Balbi Valier . It was created from the union of two buildings.
history
The palace was built in the second half of the 16th century and is associated with many noble families: it was built for the Loredan family and then fell to the Caldognos and Valmaranas . From the 19th to the 20th century, Carlos Maria de Bourbon and then Count Vittorio Cini lived there together with Giuseppe Volpi , one of the industrial magnates of the time. He was undoubtedly known not only for his political activities related to the National Fascist Party and his success in the financial sector, but also for the untimely death of his son, to whom the Fondazione Giorgio Cini is dedicated, and for the restoration of the monastery complex of San Giorgio Maggiore . Today the palace is a museum; The first floor houses permanent exhibitions, the second floor temporary ones.
description
The palace is located at the confluence of the Rio San Vio in the most important waterway in the city and shows three strict facades, which are clearly from the Renaissance .
- Facade facing the Grand Canal: without any architectural interest, it extends over four floors and shows a sequence of double windows and single windows. It used to be decorated with frescoes by Giuseppe Porta , but these have now disappeared.
- Façade facing the Rio di San Vio: a good 50 meters long and divided into two sections that can be assigned to two independent buildings that also have different house numbers (Dorsoduro 732 and Dorsoduro 864). It shows monumentally on the Campo San Vio , with which it is connected by a private bridge. The right part of the facade, which looks noble with an imposing water portal and two five-fold windows , corresponds to the other, which looks similar, but in which a multiple window has been replaced by a Venetian window . Small, rectangular windows lie above it. The other single lancet windows have no artistic significance, with the exception of those on the main floor with round arches .
- Rear facade: The facade on the Piscina Forner shows rows of individual windows, brightened by a Venetian window.
