Palazzo Priuli Ruzzini

Palazzo Priuli Ruzzini from Campo Santa Maria Formosa

Palazzo Priuli Ruzzini , also Palazzo Loredan Ruzzini Priuli , is a palace in Venice in the Italian region of Veneto . It is located in the Sestiere Castello with a view of the Rio del Pestrin next to the Palazzi Donà a Santa Maria Formosa on the northwest side of Campo Santa Maria Formosa .

history

The Palazzo Priuli Ruzzini was built at the end of the 16th century as the residence of the patrician Ruzzini family according to plans by Bartolomeo Manopola . The previous house of the Ruzzinis was destroyed by fire in 1586. There were numerous branches from this family; this also included Carlo Ruzzini , 113th Doge of the Republic of Venice . The experienced diplomat, Venetian ambassador to the most famous European courts in Madrid , Vienna and Constantinople, ascended the Doge's throne in 1732. His only connection with this building was his determination that this building should be permanently inhabited by his descendants. In the 18th century, Gregorio Lazzarini was called to do the frescoes in the interior salons. In 1801, Count Pietro Priuli became the owner of the property after the founding family died out. The building, which was in serious disrepair at the beginning of the 21st century, has been completely restored and is now a hotel.

description

The palace has two facades, one from the Renaissance on the canal and one from the late Renaissance on the square.

The facade facing the canal has three full floors and a mezzanine floor . The arched windows on the two main floors and a serrated cornice are characteristic . The middle part, shifted asymmetrically to the left, is the most interesting. On the ground floor there are two arched portals with stone frames directly to the water. This corresponds to two superimposed quadruple windows with balusters on the two main floors.

The main facade to the square is the more ornate and modern of the two and already shows baroque echoes with the same division as the facade to the canal. The valuable elements of this view are three pilaster strips - Tuscan on the ground floor, Ionic on the first floor and Corinthian on the second floor - cornices and balusters for each single window, two tall chimney heads and a large dormer with double windows, tympanum and volutes on the roof above the quadruple windows .
