Palazzo Flangini, Venice

Palazzo Flangini, Venice, Baroque palace in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.

Palazzo Flangini is a Baroque palace featuring a monumental facade along the Grand Canal, marked by sets of four windows, continuous balconies, and sculptural heads adorning two principal floors. The interior retains original Baroque stuccowork and period canvases that demonstrate unified stylistic coherence throughout the structure.

Built between 1664 and 1682 to a design attributed to Giuseppe Sardi, the palace was commissioned by the Flangini, a Greek Cypriot family settled in Venice. The last owner from the family was Cardinal Ludovico Flangini, who died in 1804; by the end of the 18th century the Panciera family occupied it. Its asymmetry is thought to stem from the family's failure to buy the adjacent property, though the original plans called for a palace twice the size.

The palace belonged to the Flangini, a Greek Cypriot family of Venice; Thomas Flanginis sponsored the Flanginian school for Greek boys in 1626. The last owner of the line was Cardinal Ludovico Flangini, who died in 1804, after which the building passed to the Panciera family. From the Grand Canal and Campo San Geremia visitors can read the narrow, tall front with its water portal and continuous balconies.

The palace faces the Grand Canal beside Campo San Geremia in Cannaregio, a short walk from the Guglie vaporetto stop. It is a private building with no public interior access, so it is seen from the canal bank or from a passing boat. The water portal and the two upper floors with their continuous balconies are best observed from across the canal.

The palace's missing right wing is the subject of a popular legend: two feuding brothers who inherited it, one said to have demolished his own half out of spite. The more accepted explanation is that the Flangini family never managed to buy the neighbouring house, so the building stayed half its planned width.
