Palazzo Bellavite

Palazzo Bellavite, 16th-century palace in San Marco, Venice, Italy

Palazzo Bellavite is a 16th-century palace on Campo San Maurizio in the San Marco district. It has four levels, the two middle ones serving as noble floors, each marked by a serliana flanked by pairs of single-light windows. The façade once carried a painting by Paolo Veronese, of which no trace remains.

Dionisio Bellavite, a flour and oil merchant, commissioned the palace in the early 16th century on the site of the old bell tower of the church of San Maurizio. Paolo Veronese painted the facade, though no trace of that work survives. The poet Giorgio Baffo lived here until his death in 1768, and Alessandro Manzoni stayed in 1803–1804; two stone plaques on the facade commemorate them.

The palace is also called Palazzo Bellavite Baffo and Casa Baffo, after poet Giorgio Baffo, who lived here until his death in 1768. Two stone plaques on the facade commemorate Baffo and Alessandro Manzoni, who stayed in the building in 1803–1804.

The palace stands in Campo San Maurizio, a short walk from the San Marco vaporetto stop; the facade with the two poets' plaques faces the square and is seen from there. The building now houses a study center and offices, so the 18th-century interiors with frescoes attributed to Pietro Antonio Novelli are not open to visitors.

The palace stands where the bell tower of the church of San Maurizio once was, and its façade once carried a painted decoration by Paolo Veronese of which no trace survives. Two stone plaques on the front record the poets Giorgio Baffo, who died here in 1768, and Alessandro Manzoni, who stayed in 1803–1804.
