On the right bank of the Grand Canal, between the Casina delle Rose and the rio di San Maurizio (a small canal), Palazzo Corner della Ca’ Grande interrupts the rhythm of the Gothic houses with a mass of Roman stone: rusticated stonework on the ground floor, Ionic and Corinthian orders on the piani nobili, wide terrace-loggias where voids prevail over solids.
