A Venetian Palace overlooking the Grand Canal now a luxury hotel,
The building was renovated on behalf of the Morosini family and, in particular, of Michele Morosini starting from 1382.
The palace was bought at the beginning of the eighteenth century by Gerardo Sagredo, a relative of the more famous Nicolò Sagredo and part of the same family to which Gerardo of Csanád belonged.
Under the new ownership, the building was renovated under the guidance of Andrea Tirali, who unified the side, built the prestigious monumental staircase and had the attic enhanced with stucco.
Tommaso Temanza also participated in the work: he designed a new scheme for the facade, with the aim of unifying its appearance.
The project, similar to that of Palazzo Grassi, never saw the light, however, as the descendants of Gerardo Sagredo continued a long judicial dispute over the inheritance for several years.
In fact, Gerardo Sagredo had decided to leave the palace to the richest family among those who inherited his possessions, hoping that the majestic project was thus completed without the problem of economic difficulties.
The last descendant of the family, Agostino, died, the house stripped of his works of art.
The restoration work, which lasted more than seven years and supervised by the Superintendence of Fine Arts of Venice, has returned to the Palazzo all its ancient splendor.
