ARCHITECTURE OF PALAZZO MIANI COLETTI GIUSTI

The palace has a light green facade, work of the painter and architect Antonio Visentini, and is built on four floors.

Overall, in the architecture of the facade we can find various allusions to the style promoted by the great architect Andrea Palladio.

The building has some peculiarities, such as the presence of the four water portals surrounded by Doric semicolumns and separated by three niches containing statues depicting personalities of the time, of the many single-lancet windows that replace the typical mullioned windows, of a cornice with an unusual arch in the middle, and of an imposing dormer between two terraces with balustrades.

The top floor is characterized by the presence of two circular niches closed by triangular tympanums.

TIP: To admire every palace, church and bridge built on the Grand Canal, take the waterbus Line 1 from Piazzale Roma, and after a 45 minutes trip you will reach San Marco Vallaresso and the eastern end of the canal.

And if you need more time to admire the scenery, take an enchanting gondola ride along the most beautiful part of Canal Grande.
