VENICE - Contarini del Bovolo staircase

Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is a late Gothic building, located in the San Marco district, near Campo Manin. The palace was built between the 15th and 15th centuries as the residence of the Contarini "di San Paternian", who from the end of the fifteenth century, due to the addition of the spiral staircase, were nicknamed "dal Bovolo". In 1717 the complex passed to Giovanni Minelli who had married Elisabetta di Pietro Maria Contarini, the last representative of the family. At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was bought by the Emery company, from which it was rented to Arnoldo Marseille who opened a hotel called "del Maltese" there in 1803. In 1852 it was ceded by testament to the parish of San Luca and became the seat of the Congregation of Charity.
The building, being located between the Rio di San Luca and the Corte del Maltese, has two facades, very different from each other. The tower ends in a domed lookout with a wide view over the city. The tower was once adorned with frescoes both inside and outside, but today few traces of such decorations remain.
