Far from the famous tourist routes,
Ca' Zenobio faces onto the quiet Rio dei Carmini on a site
that is not spectacular, like the Grand Canal, but rather is characterised
by serene intimacy, unchanged by time. Ca' Zenobio was built towards the
end of the 17th Century on the site where the Gothic Palazzo Morosini had
stood until a few years before. Palazzo Zenobio is one of the most important
examples of Venetian late Baroque style, not only architecturally but also
for decoration of the interior.
The palazzo is well known for the famous trompe-l'oeil ceiling fresco
by Louis (Lodovico) Dorigny in the ball hall. But also the wall paintings
by Luca Carlevariis and the ceiling paintings by Lazzarini and Tiepolo
in the 'portego' are remarkable.
Behind the palazzo, there is a large garden with the former library.

The Hall of Mirrors
The main hall of the Zenobio Palace, named Tiepolian after the frescos and
the complex decoration, to which probably collaborated the young G.B. Tiepolo.
A hall full of light, an exemple of venetian art and life in the XVIII Century.

The small "portego" (Hall of the "Stucco")
Before the entrance to the Hall of Mirrors. On the Walls, there are
three precious paintings of Luca Carlevaris, a predecessor of the venetian
17's view painters. The ceiling's frescos are some representation of Lazzarini's
allegories. All these frescos are framed by 17's fine "stucco", along
with marble made door arches.
