Palazzo Soranzo Cappello is a palace in Venice in the Veneto region of Italy . It is located in the Sante Croce sestiere overlooking the Rio Marin next to the Palazzo Gradenigo a San Simeone Profeta . There is the seat of the Soprintendenza , the State Office for Monument Protection for the provinces of Belluno , Padua and Treviso .
history
The palace was built in the late 16th century for the powerful Soranzo family in the style of Michele Sanmicheli .
One after the other, the Palazzo Soranzo Cappello fell to various other families, of which the Cappello family is known by name. For a while it also served as a barracks.
After several decades of decay in the 20th century, the palace was restored and is now the seat of the Soprintendenza per i beni architectonici e il paesaggio .
description
The facade facing the Rio Marin has three full floors and a mezzanine floor . The two main floors each have an elegant Venetian window in the middle with a frame made of white stone and balusters . The different floors are separated by cornices and are distinguished by their pink color. In the middle there is a large dormer window with a tympanum .
Two small chimneys replaced the original, high pinnacles .
Inside there are remarkable sculptures and decorations. Also worth mentioning is the garden, mentioned in some of the writings of the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio and the writer Henry James . The Palazzo Soranzo Cappello seems to be the one in which the novel Die Aspern-Schriften (1888) played.
