Palazzo Vitturi is a palace in Venice, Italy located in the Castello district, on the north-eastern side of Campo Santa Maria Formosa, of which the palazzo is the oldest building. The palace is mentioned in the works of Sansovino.[1]
Palazzo Vitturi is an ancient building: it was built in the second half of the 13th century, and over the centuries it has undergone several renovations that have not compromised its original structure. Today, in a good state of conservation, the building hosts a hotel.
The facade of Palazzo Vitturi is of a Venetian-Byzantine style the 14th century and is decorated with Gothic and Moorish motifs.[2] Of special interest are the openings and decorations of the second noble floor: a central quadrifora, flanked by two pairs of monoforas, over which original tiles and paterae are seen. The balustrades were added in later periods (16-17th centuries). There are frescoes inside the main floor.[3] [4]
The mezzanine has a small trifora in the center. The top floor, with its rectangular openings, dates back to the rest of the complex.
