At the crossing of two canals in Cannaregio, the rio (a small Venetian canal) di Noale and the rio di Santa Fosca, rises one of the largest late-Gothic palazzi in Venice: built at the end of the 15th century — and judged so similar to the Doge’s Palace that it was attributed to the same architect, perhaps Calendario, perhaps Basegio — it was given in 1538 to the Duke of Urbino, then passed to the Donà and, for debts, to the Giovannelli.
