| This palazzo is a demonstration of the early works of Baldassare Longhena, especially its entrance and the balcony with rolled consoles. It is quite a large edifice, which incorporates a courtyard and a spectacular terrace on the right wing of the building. The Widmann family resided here, originating from Paternion in Austria. Among the 18th century decoration of the palace, stucco works by Giuseppe Maria Mazza and frescoes by Gaspare Diziani still can be found in the piano nobile halls. Together with Clemente Molli, Longhena also created the altar of the Widmann chapel in the church of San Canciano (1639). |
