Ca' Rezzonico Site Features

There is an impressive costume collection detailing the importance of Venetian silk production during the period when the city manufactured some of the most exquisite silk fabrics ever made.

The second floor features a frescoed ceiling by Tiepolo entitled “The Allegory of Merit” within its Throne Room, which originally served as bridal chambers. Today it exhibits artifacts relating to the Venetian patrician family of Barbarigo, including an ornate gilt frame surrounding a portrait of Pietro Barbarigo and a gilt throne by Rococo sculptor Antonio Corradini.

There are works by Pietro Longhi, Francesco Guardi and Giandomenico Tiepolo on display throughout the palace, as well as a fine collection of Murano glassware illustrating the exceptional skills of 18th-century Venetian glassmakers.
