 Who built the palace?

Pietro Lombardo was a

prominent Italian
Renaissance sculptor
and architect, known
for his work at St.
Mark's Basilica and
his sculptures in
Venice.
What do Italians
call this place?
Despite its great beauty, the
Italians call this beautiful palace:
“Il palazzo maladetto”. This means
the ill-fated palace.

Ca Dario
When did its bad
reputation begin?
It began after the suicide of Giovanni Dario's
daughter, Marietta committed suicide after her
husband, Vincenzo Barbaro, went
bankrupt.Shortly afterwards, a descendant of
Barbaro was killed in battle in an ambush on
the island of Crete.

In the following centuries, several of the owners of the palace

were victims of economic bankruptcies, were murdered,
suffered serious illnesses, committed suicide, died in strange
accidents or had to flee Venice because of evil tongues.
 What happened in the
1980s?
In the late 1980s, a financier bought the palace as a gift for
his daughter, but after his suicide, no one else wanted to
buy it back for years.
 What is the current state of
the palace?

In 2006 a
company
representing
an unknown
buyer acquired
it and it is
currently
under
restoration.
 What is the architectural
style of the palace?
The Renaissance style of architecture is characterised by
symmetry, proportion and harmony, inspired by ancient
Greece and Rome. It features elegant facades, Corinthian
columns and decorative details that reflect an interest in
beauty and mathematical perfection, leaving a lasting legacy
in the history of architecture.
