Palazzo Da Mula Morosini, Gothic palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.
Palazzo Da Mula Morosini is a Gothic palace in Venice's Dorsoduro district, distinguished by three pointed-arch windows on each noble floor. The building features a protruding terrace on the second level overlooking the Grand Canal.
Palazzo Da Mula Morosini was built in the 15th century as a noble residence; Palazzo Centani Morosini was added later, in the early Baroque period, and the Morosini family joined the two buildings with an internal passage. Annina Morosini turned the palace into a meeting place for nobles, artists and politicians, and hosted Kaiser Wilhelm II there. It remains a private residence.
Annina Morosini turned Palazzo Da Mula Morosini into a meeting place for nobles, artists and politicians; Kaiser Wilhelm II was a guest here. The two palaces were unified by the Morosini family and are linked by an internal passage. Claude Monet painted both buildings in 1908 during his stay in Venice.
Both palaces stand side by side on the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro, between Palazzo Barbarigo and Ca' Biondetti, a short walk from Campo San Vio. They are private residences, so they are seen from the opposite bank or from a vaporetto passing on the canal; the rear court of Palazzo Centani Morosini faces Rio de Le Piere Bianche, a branch of Rio Toresele.
A 1908 Monet painting shows both palaces, Palazzo Centani Morosini and Palazzo Da Mula Morosini, together from the Grand Canal. Inside Palazzo Da Mula, one hall keeps a tapestry decoration. A Russian anti-corruption foundation's investigation names conductor Valery Gergiev as owner of Palazzo Da Mula Morosini and the adjoining Palazzo Barbarigo, part of the inheritance of philanthropist Yoko Nagae Ceschina.
