Ca' Tron: Façade
by GASPARI, Antonio, Photo
The palace was built in the late 16th century by an unknown architect of Jacopo Sansovino’s school. In the 18th century the building was further extended according to a design by Antonio Gaspari. It was the residence of the powerful and rich Venetian Tron family.
The eighteenth-century fa�ade by Gaspari shows the influence of Sansovino in many details. The columns of the four lancet windows, surmounted by arches, terminate with Ionic and Corinthian capitals on the first and second floors, respectively.
