Palazzi Barbaro, Gothic palazzo along Grand Canal in San Marco, Italy
Two connected palaces form Palazzo Barbaro, with the original 1425 Gothic structure featuring four-pointed arch loggias and a 1694 Baroque addition.
Zaccaria Barbaro, who served as Procurator of St Mark's, acquired the palace in 1465 through profits from the family's salt trade ventures.
The palazzo became a center for American artists when Daniel and Ariana Curtis purchased it in 1885, hosting Henry James, John Singer Sargent, and Claude Monet.
The palazzo underwent structural restoration to maintain its architectural elements, including the grand ballroom and the third-floor library with Tiepolo ceiling paintings.
Henry James completed The Aspern Papers at the palazzo's library desk and later depicted the ballroom in The Wings of the Dove as Palazzo Leporelli.
