Magazzini del sale, Historic salt warehouse palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

Magazzini del Sale is a long, single-storey salt warehouse on the Fondamenta delle Zattere, facing the Giudecca Canal. Its pale facade has six large blind arches with dark openings at their bases, separated by vertical bands of contrasting stone, and a low-pitched roof. Faded lettering on the upper right reads "MAGAZZINI DEL SALE"; behind rise two tall columned structures with rounded caps and a massive ribbed dome.

Built in the early 15th century on the Fondamenta delle Zattere, where rafts landed goods for Venice, the complex was designed as a salt warehouse. The architect Alvise Pigazzi, a pupil of Giannantonio Selva, is credited with its design, and it was carefully restored around 1830. After the salt trade ended it declined in the 20th century, then was reused for exhibitions.

The Emilio and Annabianca Vedova Foundation maintains an exhibition space within the building while preserving the original brick walls and wooden roof structure. These authentic materials remind visitors of the building's working past and its transformation into a place for art and culture.

The building is located in Dorsoduro and can be easily reached by public transportation, particularly from the ACTV stops at Salute and Spirito Santo stations. The waterfront location makes it easy to spot and offers good views from the Giudecca Canal.

A modern rail system runs along the roof structure and uses robotic shuttles to transport artworks between storage areas and exhibition spaces. This transport system is invisible from below but gives the building an additional dimension in managing art collections.
