The history of Ca’ Rezzonico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palace that now houses the Museum of 18th-Century Venice was commissioned by the Bon family, one of the ancient Venetian nobility, to architect Baldassarre Longhena. However, due to the family’s financial difficulties, the work was interrupted, and the palace remained unfinished until Giambattista Rezzonico purchased the building in 1750 and completed it with the help of architect Giorgio Massari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The palace and its architectural features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main entrance of the palace is located on the Grand Canal and features innovative architectural solutions for its time. The unique facade, inspired by the Procuratie Nuove of Piazza San Marco, creates a striking play of light and shadow. Inside, the inner courtyard and the portego with a 19th-century gondola add a touch of charm and mystery to the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unmissable routes and collections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of the museum, you will find visitor services, while the Browning Mezzanine hosts works from the Mestrovich Collection, including masterpieces by artists such as Tintoretto and de’ Pitati. The visit begins at the grand staircase on the first floor, where you can admire 18th-century paintings, sculptures, and furnishings. On the second floor, don’t miss the room dedicated to Longhi’s work and the frescoes detached from Giandomenico Tiepolo’s Villa Zianigo. Finally, on the third floor, you will find the precious Egidio Martini Art Gallery and the evocative Ai do San Marchi Pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
