Palazzo D'Anna Viaro Martinengo Volpi di Misurata, Renaissance palace on Grand Canal in San Marco, Venice, Italy.
Palazzo D'Anna Viaro Martinengo Volpi di Misurata is a Renaissance palace on the Grand Canal featuring a central water entrance on the ground floor. It has an elevated mezzanine level and a noble floor with a four-part window and balcony overlooking the waterway.
The building was constructed in the early 16th century for the Talenti family and later changed hands among several noble families. Giuseppe Volpi acquired it in 1917, and the palace later took his name.
The noble floor still displays period furnishings and artworks that reflect how wealthy Venetian families lived and decorated their homes. The grand ballroom shows frescoes that celebrate important historical events, offering insight into what mattered to the families who owned the palace.
The palace is best appreciated from the water as you travel along the Grand Canal. The nearest vaporetto stop at Sant'Angelo lies about 250 meters away on Line 1.
The artist Michelangelo visited Venice in 1529 specifically to study the original frescoes by Pordenone that once decorated the palace facade. Those paintings have vanished over time, but they speak to the building's former prestige.
