Palazzo Mocenigo Gambara

Facade of the Palazzo Mocenigo Gambara to the Grand Canal

Palazzo Mocenigo Gambara is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Dorsoduro sestiere overlooking the Grand Canal between the Palazzi Contarini degli Scrigni e Corfù and the Palazzo Querini alla Carità , near the Gallerie dell'Accademia and opposite the Palazzo Giustinian Lolin .

history

This building was built in the second half of the 17th century as the home of the Mocenigo family . In this century the family commissioned Giovanni Antonio da Pordenone ("Il Pordenone") with the creation of frescoes on the walls of the inner courtyard (now gone), but in the last years of the 18th century, when the marriage of Francesco Mocenigo and Eleonara Gambara fell to the Gambaras in 1678 , Giovanni Battista Canal and Jacopo Guarana were called to decorate the interiors with frescoes.

Today this palace, owned by the Association of Industrialists of Venice, is a meeting place.

description

The Palazzo Mocenigo Gambara is a four-story, classical building. A mezzanine floor is between the ground floor and the main floor, and another under the roof. The facade is asymmetrical, the rectangular portal shifted to the right and architecturally almost completely without interest. This corresponds to the main opening of the main floor, a Venetian window with a triangular tympanum above and a protruding balcony. Next to the Venetian window there are five individual windows with arched roofs, four to the left and one to the right.

Inside, in the large drawing room on the main floor, the most valuable works of the palace are preserved, the allegorical frescoes by Giambattista Canal, which he painted in 1769.
