Between Palazzo Molin Querini and Palazzo Soranzo Piovene, near the Maddalena and beside the disused ferry crossing that once linked this bank to San Stae, this 17th-century palace is easy to recognise. Its façade bends in two: the sections project at the centre, forming a very wide angle that follows the curve of the canal. Anachronistic details make the façade look 16th-century.
