Palazzo Bernardo (Venice)

Italy / Veneto / Venice / Campiello della Madonna (S.Polo), 1978

A well conserved example of a two-familiy-palazzo of the 'gotico fiorito' with a six-light loggia in the second piano nobile, based on the Doge's Palace. The building was built before 1442, since a document proves that in said year Francesco Sforza was guest in the palazzo (terminus ante quem). As the widths of the loggia arches in the first and second piano nobile are not exactly equal, it was impossible to arrange them exactly one over another. The second piano nobile has four single windows in the wings with pendant-tracery. venedig.jc-r.net
