Gesuiti Apartment

PALAZZO ZEN was built in the sixteenth century in Gothic style on commission from the family of the same name, also known as Zeno. The facade on the river is characterized by a dense series of twenty arched windows, alternating with others with a truncated cusp, and by four blind arches in the Renaissance style. Four massive balconies, decorated with rich Lombard-style marble friezes, overlook the entrances, enriching the façade. A plaque, affixed by the Municipality, commemorates the two great fourteenth-century navigators Nicolò and Antonio Zeno, who probably lived in this place before the building was built.
