Palazzo Pesaro Papafava, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.
Palazzo Pesaro Papafava is a Gothic palace on the Canale della Misericordia featuring a facade that spans four stories and displays two large four-light windows separated by a small balcony. The building exemplifies the window arrangements and proportions typical of Venetian noble residences from this era.
The building dates from the 15th century and was originally owned by the Pesaro family. In 1615, Pesarina Pesaro married Bonifacio Papafava, who gained admission to Venetian nobility in 1652.
The interior reflects how Venetian noble families expressed their wealth through architectural choices. The main hall displays a Renaissance-style ceiling that shows the refined taste these families valued.
The palace is accessible from the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop, which is served by multiple boat lines. It sits directly on the canal and is easy to spot from the water thanks to its distinctive window arrangements.
One room displays an early 18th-century painted ceiling and bears the name of a family member. This space was named after someone who held a particular passion for hunting pursuits.
