Palazzo Lezze, Baroque palace in Cannaregio, Italy.

The palace stands along Rio della Misericordia with a main facade featuring heavy balustraded balconies and ashlar masonry on the ground floor.

Giovanni da Lezze di Andrea commissioned the construction of the main facade between 1611 and 1617 while serving as Procurator of Saint Mark.

The interior originally contained numerous art pieces and a Tiepolo frescoed ceiling, which were dispersed after the fall of the Venetian Republic.

The palace stands between the Scuola Grande Nuova della Misericordia and Calle Largo Lezze, with access from both the canal and street sides.

The palace facade displays carved women's heads on window keystones and arches, while the internal courtyard exhibits busts crafted by Francesco Cavrioli.
