Canal Grande, Venice

The same craftsmen who worked on the façade of the building were also responsible for its elegant courtyard. It has a portico on two sides, while at the far end there is a large Gothic window, carved by the Bon brothers, through which is visible the Grand Canal in front. The staircase that leads to the upper floors is by Matteo Raverti.
