  Si affaccia sul Canal Grande e risale alla fine del'400:ha una facciata larga appena 10 metri ed appare più rinascimentale che gotico come la maggior parte degli altri canali.E' quasi totalmente decor...  more »

  It overlooks the Grand Canal and dates back to the late 1400s: it has a facade just 10 metres wide and looks more Renaissance than Gothic like most other canals. It is almost totally decorated with polychrome marbles and Istria stone and numerous medallions. The dislocation of the windows alternated with the medallions and the accentuated pendeza due to the failure of the ground make it one of the most beautiful and characteristic to attract the attention of illustrious tar characters whose Monet and D'annunzio. It is considered a cursed palace, not only because it rests on a cemetery, but, above all, for the tragic events that have affected in the cohesive of the century, up to the present day, the various owners. According to the curse, these are destined to end up in poverty or to die violent death, and, as we read its history, one is alarmed by the large number of suicides, tragedies and bloody deaths. The great tenor Del Monaco miraculously escaped the curse: he was going to Venice to sign the act of purchase of the palace, but he had a scary car accident and gave it up. A warning?.....

  Da vedere. Fate un giro sul vaporetto (anche se piuttosto caro !) che percorre tutto il Canal Grande e vedrete altri palazzi ugualmente affascinanti !

  To see. Take a trip on the vaporetto (though quite expensive!) that runs across the grand Canal and you will see other palaces equally fascinating!

  Според местно поверие, над собствениците на тази сграда тежи проклятие, според което ги грози или фалит, или насилствена смърт. Дворецът е построен през втората половина на 15-ти век за търговеца Джовани Дарио, който е имал значителни заслуги пред венецианската република - през 1479 г. договаря мирно споразумение с Турция. Този палаццо често се описва като един от най-характерните дворци на Венеция и може би по тази причина е използван от Клод Моне като основа на поредица от импресионистични картини.

  According to local belief, over the owners of this building weighs a curse, according to which they are either bankrupt or violent death. The palace was built in the second half of the 15th century for the merchant Giovanni Dario, who had considerable merit before the Venetian Republic-in 1479, negotiated a peace agreement with Turkey. This pallazzo is often described as one of the most characteristic palaces of Venice and perhaps for this reason was used by Claude Monet as the basis of a series of impressionistic paintings.
