Palazzo Secco Dolfin, Palace in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.
The Palazzo Secco Dolfin faces the Rio di Ca'Foscari with its main facade featuring a continuous balcony across the piano nobile level.
The Secco family constructed this palace before 1621, when a branch of the Dolfin family purchased it and commissioned extensive interior decorations.
The grand ballroom contains a ceiling fresco by Niccolò Bambini from 1710-1715 depicting an allegory of Venice through detailed artistic composition.
The University of Venice now owns the building, using its restored ballroom for graduation ceremonies and maintaining the structure as a university guesthouse.
The walls once displayed Giambattista Tiepolo's Roman history paintings, which now reside in museums like the Hermitage and Metropolitan Museum.
