Art & History Hotel
Ruzzini Palace is housed within an ancient historical residence that once
belonged to one of the most prominent Venetian families. During the era of the
Serenissima Republic, they inhabited the historic residence for a long period in
seamless continuity. The hotel overlooks campo Santa Maria Formosa on one side,
and rio del Paradiso on the other, and still maintains a water entrance, which
once was the main entry. The hotel's present day design was entrusted to the
architect Bartolomeo Manopola, whose Venetian works includes the marble façade
of the clock overlooking the Ducal Palace courtyard.Built during the late XVI
century and early XVII century,
Palazzo Loredan Ruzzini Priuli, as it was originally named, allowed the building
to embody a dualistic expression as it transitioned from the renaissance to the
baroque period. The rio del Paradiso façade dates back to the 1500s while the
façade overlooking the campo preludes the Baroque period. The palazzo belongs to
the architectural heritage of Venice, overseen by the Superintendence, for its
historical and artistic value. The current refurbishment recaptures the
building's original design and detailing, like the large portego (the lounge
that stretches along the entire side wing of the residence), the exposed beams,
Venetian-style floors, and, above all, once again proudly showcases the
paintings by Gregorio Lazzarini (1655 – 1730). The teacher of Giambattista
Tiepolo, Lazzarini's frescoes depicting mythological scenes, "Juno's Chariot"
and "Zephyr and Flora", that today grace the Royal Suite of the Ruzzini Palace,
were commissioned to the artist by Carlo Ruzzini, the 113th Doge of Venice.
