Palazzo Muti Baglioni

Facade of the Palazzo Muti Baglioni to Rio di San Cassiano out

Palazzo Muti Baglioni is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the San Polo sestiere on the Rio di San Cassiano and next to the Church of San Cassan .

history

As several art historians suggest, the palace was built in 1602 on the basis of a public building that the Muti family bought only to be demolished. The family kept the property until the end of the 17th century. The Acquisti family bought it in two parts in 1670 and 1679. In 1686 this family was accepted into the Venetian patriciate. The property later fell to the Verzi family . On February 23, 1737, the palace was badly damaged by a fire during a wedding reception in the neighboring house. In 1742 the Palazzo Muti Baglioni had already been restored and was due to the visit of the Count of Modena , Francesco III. d'Este , prepared. After this event, embellishment work was carried out on the interior, depending on the type of stucco and frescoes . In 1750 the Baglionis bought the palace and then in 1919 Da Mostos , to whom it still belongs to this day.

description

The palace lies in a particularly complicated tangle of streets and is only halfway visible from a boat, because you can only glimpse its very long facade from the Ponte della Malvasia . The palace is the tallest private house in Venice; it reaches a roof height of 27 meters. The architect is not known. The Palazzo Muti Baglioni has two identical facades, one on the Rio di San Cassiano and the other on the Calle Muti , strictly comparable to that of the Palazzo Da Ponte and other such inspired buildings. Both facades are characterized by Venetian windows arranged one above the other , flanked by individual windows. The only decorated window opening is the one in the middle. On the ground floor there are three doors on both facades, the two outer doors providing access to corridors, perhaps earlier to a vestibule that served to reach the main floors directly via stairs.
