Ca' Cornaro (later Gheltof)Grand Canal, S. Benedetto Parish (S. Marco)![]()
In Palaces and Churches on the Grand Canal in Venice, Umberto Franzoi comments (p. 103), "Flanked by lateral single-lights with framed arches, the central three-light section on the first piano nobile is of the Serliana type. The width of this Serliana section is respected in the interesting four-light section stating the central reception hall on the second storey." The courtyard of the structure, featuring an open staircase and a Gothic-style facade, is highlighted by a 10th century Byzantine-Gothic well-head.
