Palazzo Dario, Gothic palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.
The marble-encrusted palace stands between Palazzo Barbaro Wolkoff and Rio delle Torreselle, displaying an asymmetrical facade toward the Grand Canal.
Pietro Lombardo designed this Renaissance palace in 1479 for Giovanni Dario, a Venetian Senate diplomat who negotiated peace treaties with Constantinople.
The palace features distinctive Gothic oculi and polychrome marble decorations that represent the fusion of Venetian and Eastern architectural influences.
Located at Campiello Barbaro 352, the palace remains closed to visitors but its exterior can be viewed from the Grand Canal or nearby bridges.
The Latin inscription on the facade reads JOANNES DARIVS GENIO, which some interpret as containing hidden messages about the building's future.
