In the Corte dell’Albero, a stone’s throw from San Samuele and the Campiello del Teatro, there is a façade so sober you hardly notice it. Yet Palazzo Sandi-Porto, also called Cipollato, hides the second ceiling ever frescoed by Giambattista Tiepolo. The story begins with a family of lawyers, the Sandi, who entered the patriciate with the hundred thousand ducats offered to the Serenissima for the war of the Morea.
