Palazzo Belloni Battagia
It was built in the mid-17th century under design
by Baldassarre Longhena, as the residence of the Belloni
family.
Description
It has two floors and a mezzanine, with a typically
Baroque façade featuring a rich sculpture decoration.
The ground floor, surmounted by a parapet, has at
the middle a big portal with a tympanum. The piano no-
bile has seven rectangular windows within a large set of
decorations, including false columns, two large coat of
arms and, above each window, a broken entablature.
The mezzanine, separated by the floor below by a
frame, has six small windows. The cornice has a notched
frame and a long frieze with the Belloni coat of arms.
At the top are two symmetrical, obelisk-shaped pinna-
cles: this theme is featured in a minority of palaces in
Venice, such as Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, also designed by
Longhena, and Palazzo Papadopoli.
Internally, there are 19th century frescoes in the pi-
ano nobile and a private oratory with painted decora-
tions.
