Palazzo Contarini Polignac, Renaissance palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

The palace features marble decorations on its facade and displays distinct architectural elements between the water floor and the first noble floor.

The Contarini dal Zaffo family acquired the palace in the sixteenth century and maintained ownership until 1783, reflecting their connection to Jaffa.

Princess Winnaretta Singer transformed the palace into a center for musical gatherings, hosting composers like Igor Stravinsky and numerous European artists.

The palace opens its doors for temporary exhibitions, cultural activities, and private events, particularly during the Venice Biennale art exhibitions.

Four historical pianos from Pleyel and Erard manufacturers remain in the palace collection, restored to their original condition.
