Wouldn’t it be interesting if you could enter a private home?
And if this private home also had a delightful garden? This visit takes us on a discovery of two palaces on the Grand Canal, which is Venice’s main thoroughfare but also the city’s most prestigious residential area. We can admire homes that have been perfectly decorated according to the eclectic Venetian taste which bears witness to this cosmopolitan city’s international relations and to the Venetians’ love for materials and precious objects.
We’ll start our visit at Palazzo Barnabò Malipiero, which has what is considered the most beautiful garden in Venice: a green oasis, visible from the Grand Canal, which is transformed into a cloud of roses in May. Palazzo Malipiero is the ideal place to recall one of Venice’s most famous sons, Giacomo Casanova, who was born and took his first steps in this neighbourhood.
We’ll then continue to the other side of the canal to visit Palazzo Nani Bernardo, which also has a wonderful garden lovingly tended by its owner.
