Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel (Venice)

Italy / Veneto / Venice / Fondamenta Van Axel o de le Erbe, 6099
 palace, house, 15th century construction
The palazzo van Axel (more precisely Soranzo-Venier-Sanudo-van Axel-Barozzi) is surely one of the best conserved examples of a late gothic two-family palazzo. The palazzo was built in 1473-79 by Nicolò Soranzo, with use of material of the predecessor pre-gothic palace of the Gradenigo family. After the Soranzo, the building was property of the Venier and Sanudo. In 1628, the van Axel family acquired the palazzo. As the name tells, the family was from Axel, near Gand in Holland. In 1919, lord Dino Barozzi bought the building.
