Ca' Dolfin in San Pantalon: Façade
by ROSSI, Domenico, Photo
The palace, now owned by the Università Ca’ Foscari, was acquired by the old, noble Venetian Dolfin family in 1621. After a succession of projects to expand and modernize it, in 1710 the building finally achieved magnificence through a new restoration, designed by Domenico Rossi. The commissioner of the renovation was Daniele III Dolfin. The decoration of the main hall (salone) was executed by Nicolò Bambini with the collaboration of quadratura painter Antonio Felice Ferrari.
