Ca'Rezzonico Palace

The palace which houses the Museum of 18th-century Venice was built at the behest of the Bon family, one of the old noble families of the town. Halfway through the 17th century Filippo Bon commissioned the building from the most famous architect of his time, Baldassare Longhena, who also built Ca’ Pesaro and the basilica of La Salute.The staircase alongside the café leads to the Browning Mezzanine, with works by artists such as Jacopo Tintoretto and Bonifacio de’ Pitati. Inside you have wonderful Tiepolo’s frescos, Longhi and Guardi paintings….and beautiful objects of 18th century like porcelain tea and coffee cups and staff….
