Palazzo Boldù a San Felice

Palazzo Boldù a San Felice stands on the Grand Canal between Palazzetto Da Lezze and Palazzo Contarini Pisani, displaying traditional Venetian architecture.

The Boldù family, newly accepted into Venetian nobility, constructed this palace in the 16th century before the Ghisi family reconstructed it in the late 1600s.

The interior walls feature extensive frescoes by Jacopo Guarana and Francesco Fontebasso, including scenes of Diana, Endymion, and the Judgment of Paris.

The palace maintains its position at coordinates 45.441529, 12.332663, accessed through the narrow streets and waterways of the Cannaregio district.

Two military commanders, Giovanni Orsini and G. Francesco Gonzaga, used the palace as their residence during consecutive years in the 1520s.
