Palazzo Cappello, Renaissance palace in Santa Croce district, Venice, Italy.

Palazzo Soranzo Cappello is a Renaissance palace in Venice's Santa Croce district with a distinctive pink plaster facade. The four-story building includes a mezzanine level and two noble floors overlooking the Rio Marin canal, with elegantly proportioned rows of windows and white-stone decorative elements.

The Soranzo family built this palace in the late 16th century, following architectural patterns similar to Michele Sanmicheli's designs. Construction occurred during an era when Venetian noble families displayed their power through grand residences along the canals.

The palace is now the Venice seat of the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the metropolitan area of Venice and the provinces of Belluno, Padua and Treviso, whose legal headquarters is in Padua. The Italian state acquired it by exercising its right of pre-emption before the restoration. Visitors see the building from the Rio Marin; the garden is the setting linked to Henry James's The Aspern Papers (1888) and to Gabriele D'Annunzio's Il fuoco (1900).

The palace faces the Rio Marin, so it is seen from the canal rather than from a public walkway. It is the seat of the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Venice metropolitan area and the provinces of Belluno, Padua and Treviso, so it is not open as a museum and can only be viewed from outside.

The garden drew the attention of poet Gabriele D'Annunzio and writer Henry James, and the palace is thought to be the setting of James's The Aspern Papers (1888) and of D'Annunzio's Il fuoco (1900). The Italian state later acquired the building by exercising its right of pre-emption.
