Ca’ Bembo

is a building of historical and artistic value dating back to the
16th century
on
Rio San Trovaso
in the parish of
San Trovaso
,
sestiere
of
Dorsoduro
a
Venice
, and notable for a particularly large garden. Despite its name, it has no particular connection to the history of the
Bembo family
and is instead linked to one of the branches of the Venetian aristocratic family of the
Barbarigo
of San Trovaso and in particular to the figure of
Agostino Barbarigo
.

The palace inherited by Jerome was the subject of a partition among heirs in
1518
. In the mid-16th century it was the subject of a vast and ambitious program of artistic and architectural renovation, desired by
Agostino Barbarigo
, nephew of Girolamo, perhaps on the occasion of his sumptuous marriage to Lucia Pesaro on April 30, 1554.

The transformation of the building was entrusted to
Jacopo Sansovino
, who, inspired by the works
Renaissance
of
Rome
e
Florence
, was building in those very years the
New Factories
of
Rialto
. The portal and the rhythm of the stringcourses bear his imprint, while the eclectic use of Corinthian balcony brackets and
capitals

Doric
in the main floor facade have led to speculation that others also intervened.

Agostino Barbarigo had also commissioned from
Iacopo Tintoretto
, again for the facade, a cycle of
frescoes
, now lost.
