The Palazzo Minotto-Barbarigo and The "Musica a Palazzo" Artistic Association

The palace consists of a small 15th century  palace with arches of fifth and a later (perhaps 16th century) construction on the right. Both buildings are internally connected. A moulding dates from the byzantine epoch, but is much restored. As old paintings prove, wooden conservatories like the one used in front of the single right window were commonly used in Venice. All balconies are from later periods. Large parts of Settecento stuccos and paintings are conserved in the mezzanine and piano nobile. Two paintings by Giambattista Tiepolo, sold during the 1960s, were recently recovered and re-integrated in the palace. Other famous artists as Fontebasso, Mingozzi, Carpoforo Mazzetti-Tencalla have created their works of Arts for the embellishment of the Piano Nobile.

Autumn 2005: the piano nobile of the palace was left to an important Music Association of Venice that is works also in Partnership with the MDV - Wedding in Venice.

The Palazzo Minotto-Barbarigo preserves the original furnitures and in their premises could be organized a fully "de-luxe" catering for reception and special events up to 60 persons.
