Palazzo Dandolo Paolucci is a Renaissance palace in Venice, Italy, located in the San Polo district and overlooking the Grand Canal. The palazzo neighbors Palazzo Dolfin and Palazzo Civran Grimani.[1]

History

The present palace was built in the 17th century on the site of a previous Gothic building of the 14th century.[2] The palace was heavily remodeled in later periods. A large terrace with a balustrade was added on top in 1924. Dandolo is the name of a dogal family. Palazzo Dandolo belonged to the Paolucci family in the 18th century.[3]

Architecture

The palace has four levels with two noble floors in the middle. They are decorated by quadriforas slightly shifted to the right and flanked by pairs of single-light windows. The ground floor has two water portals; this feature testifies to the two-family use of the building. The palazzo has a modern terrace, located on the top floor, above the eaves line.[4]
