Behind the Doge’s Palace, on the canal that descends from the Bridge of Sighs, stands a palace that can rival the nearby Basilica for richness: Palazzo Trevisan Cappello, one of the most sumptuous private dwellings of the early Venetian Renaissance, with a facade entirely clad in polychrome marbles, porphyry discs and geometric inlays.
