Palazzo Marcello Toderini

The Palazzo Marcello Toderini is a historic seventeenth-century palace in Venice's Santa Croce sestiere. It stands on the Riva de Biasio overlooking the Grand Canal, between the Palazzo Zen and the Tassitura Luigi Bevilacqua. The facade is painted white and features a rectangular portal on the ground floor, flanked by two windows. The main floor is striking for its large Venetian window with a balcony, surrounded by round-arched windows set in half-column frames. The upper floor has matching rectangular windows. A large garden extends behind the building. The Marcello family, who had the palace built, is historically known for two doges and the musicians Alessandro and Benedetto Marcello.
