Casa di Carlo Goldoni
Casa di Carlo Goldoni, a charming Gothic palace in the San Polo district, is dedicated to Venice’s most celebrated playwright, Carlo Goldoni. Born here in 1707, Goldoni transformed Italian theatre with his lively comedies that gave voice to everyday Venetian life. The museum preserves the atmosphere of his era, with period furnishings, manuscripts, and portraits that evoke the cultural vibrancy of 18th‑century Venice. Visitors can explore the small theatre space where his works are performed, as well as the library and archives that document centuries of theatrical tradition. The palace itself, with its elegant façade and courtyard, reflects the city’s medieval character while offering a window into Goldoni’s world. Today, Casa Goldoni is not only a tribute to the playwright’s genius but also a living centre for theatre studies, inviting audiences to rediscover the wit and humanity of Venice’s greatest dramatist.
Venice ItalyCasa di Carlo Goldoni is located at San Polo 2794, 30125 Venice, in the San Polo sestiere, within the historic 15th-century Gothic palace Ca' Centanni. This birthplace of the famed playwright sits along a quiet canal, accessible by vaporetto at the San Tomà stop, just a short walk from the bustling Rialto Bridge and its vibrant market. Nearby attractions include the grand Ca' Rezzonico museum of 18th-century Venice across the canal, the lively Campo San Polo square with its church and cafes, and Palazzo Mocenigo, offering a seamless blend of literary history and Venetian grandeur amid narrow calli and hidden courtyards.
