Palazzo Contarini dal Zaffo, Renaissance palace in Cannaregio, Italy.
Palazzo Contarini dal Zaffo stands along the Grand Canal with a marble facade featuring six round-arched openings and pentaforas on noble floors.
The Contarini family commissioned this palace in the 15th century, with subsequent renovations between 1562 and 1582 maintaining its original exterior features.
After 1901, Princess Winaretta Singer of Polignac transformed the palace into an intellectual center where composer Igor Stravinsky attended artistic gatherings.
The palace remains a private residence of the Polignac family, yet opens its doors during the International Art Exhibitions of the Venice Biennale.
Giandomenico Tiepolo created frescoes inside the palace, while Claude Monet painted its exterior facade in 1908 during his visit to Venice.
