Palazzo Pesaro Papafava

The palace stands on Canale della Misericordia with a facade extending across four floors and features two large four-light windows with a small balcony between them.

The Pesaro family owned this 15th-century palace until 1615, when Pesarina Pesaro married Bonifacio Papafava, who later entered Venetian nobility in 1652.

The central hall contains a 16th-century Sansovino-style ceiling, demonstrating the architectural preferences of Venetian noble families during the Renaissance period.

Visitors can reach the palace by taking vaporetto lines 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 12, 13, or 22 to the Fondamente Nove stop, located near the building.

The Beatrice room features an early 18th-century painted ceiling, named after Bonifacio Papafava's daughter who maintained a particular interest in hunting activities.
