Galleria Giorgio Franchetti
The Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro, housed in one of Venice’s most beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal, is a jewel of art and architecture. The Ca’ d’Oro, or “Golden House,” built in the 15th century, is a masterpiece of Venetian Gothic style, with its ornate façade once adorned in gilded decorations. Donated to the Italian State by Baron Giorgio Franchetti in 1916, the palace became a museum showcasing his remarkable collection. Visitors can admire Renaissance paintings, sculptures, bronzes, and tapestries, including works by Mantegna, Titian, and Van Dyck. The museum also preserves fragments of Venetian art rescued from churches and palaces, reflecting Franchetti’s passion for safeguarding cultural heritage. Beyond its treasures, the palace itself enchants with its marble courtyard and breathtaking views of the Grand Canal. Today, the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti stands as a testament to Venice’s artistic legacy, blending history, beauty, and preservation in one extraordinary setting.
