Palazzo Widmann (1630) is an early work of Baldassarre Longhena, a leading exponent of seventeenth century Venice. The building has a clear Baroque-Rococo imprint and still retains its original splendor. The Palace is appreciated for its interior decoration, furniture and artworks: it is essential to mention the renowned picture gallery with its collection of paintings and frescoes from the most important artists of that period.

The splendor of the many rooms that are decorated with stucco and the presence of many refined examples of antique furniture, maintained in excellent condition, is proof of the Palace’s magnificence. In this context, the restoration of Palazzo Widmann has a deep meaning: not just a simple moke up of the building, which for obvious historical reasons is flawed, but to create a reuse of the building through its revitalization. Otherwise it will be destined to remain a mere ghost from a bygone era. The philological restoration of the original architectural decoration make possible to recognize every architectural peculiarity of each part of the building and give it the original brilliance.
