Palazzo Barbaro, Venice
Also known as the Ca’ Barbaro, the Palazzo Barbaro actually refers to two adjoining palaces located on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The first of the two palaces was built in the 15th century in the Venetian Gothic style, while the later building is Baroque in style and dates to the late 17th century. When the Barbaro family died out in the mid-19th century, the palace was purchased by Daniel Sargent Curtis, a relative of John Singer Sargent. The palace became the center for artists and collectors such as Henry James, Robert Browning, Claude Monet, James Whistler, Bernard Berenson, Edith Wharton and Isabella Stewart Gardner. Many believe the Gothic palace may have inspired the design of the Gardner Museum in Boston, MA. Buona visita!
