Ca’ Farsetti
is a Venetian palace, located in the San Marco district and overlooking the Grand Canal, not far from the Rialto Bridge. It is the seat, along with the adjacent Ca’ Loredan, of the lagoon city’s municipality. The palace was built in the 13th century by the descendants of Doge Enrico Dandolo, with only two floors. Federigo Contarini, who bought the palace in 1440, had it enlarged in height to its present size. Around 1670 it passed to the family that gave it its name, the Farsetti, who during the 18th century established a kind of cultural center open to intellectuals, artists, citizens and foreign tourists. In the “museum” was a rich collection of artworks from various eras and origins, complemented by a well-stocked library.
The last member of the family was Anton Francesco who, burdened with debt, closed the gallery in 1788 and began to alienate himself from the preserved works. Immediately blocked by the State Inquisitors, it was able to resume sales after the fall of the Serenissima. He died in 1808, and the palace was purchased at auction by his widow Andriana da Ponte as a dowry creditor. For a time the “Gran Bretagna” hotel was installed there, but in 1826 it was sold to the Venice city government, which turned it into a municipal residence the following year, a role it still plays.
