Palazzo Barbarigo first belonged to Francesco Duodo, a 16th-century admiral who played a decisive role in winning the Battle of Lepanto. Elaborate ceiling frescoes were added in the 18th century by celebrated painter Francesco Fontebasso. The mythological scenes display the Roman chiaroscuro style with strong contrasts between light and dark.
Now, the palazzo’s fresco-adorned principal floor (piano nobile) is on the market. High ceilings and wide rooms define the roughly 5,100 square feet of interior. Other architectural details include Venetian-decorated wood, original doors and floors, large windows and two prominent stone balconies. Not far from the Grand Canal (Canal Grande), the palazzo also features a canal entrance, allowing you to arrive by water taxi or private boat.

00:00 Palazzo Barbarigo lies in the heart of Venice's San Marco district, not far from the Grand Canal.
00:07 It's a palace distinguished by its place in Italian history and art.
00:11 Now, the Palazzo's fresco-adorned principal floor, known as the Piano Nobile, could be yours.
00:19 With six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and more than 5,100 square feet of living space,
00:24 the Palazzo is projected to attract bids in the 4 million euro range, or about 4.4 million dollars.
00:31 This property first belonged to famed 16th century admiral Francesco Duodo,
00:36 who played a decisive role in winning the Battle of Lepanto.
00:40 Elaborate ceiling frescoes added in the 18th century are the work of celebrated painter Francesco Fontebasso.
00:47 These intricate mythological scenes, in the Roman chiaroscuro style, were designed to glorify the virtues of the former owner's ancestors.
00:57 The rooms containing the frescoes are wide with high ceilings, suitable for use as enormous bedrooms, suites, or living areas based on a buyer's needs.
01:06 Other architectural details include Venetian decorated wood, original doors and floors, large windows, and two prominent stone balconies.
01:15 The Eden kitchen features a center island counter.
01:19 There are several flights of stairs, an elevator, and a common courtyard.
01:23 The Palazzo also features a canal entrance, allowing you to arrive by water taxi or private boat.
01:30 As a protected building, owners are required to preserve the conservative state of this historic Palazzo.
01:35 Any modifications must be cleared with the superintendency of Venice,
01:39 but buying a protected property does come with a significant tax advantage.
