The Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo (also called the Palazzo Contarini Minelli dal Bovolo) is a small ''palazzo'' in Venice, Italy, best known for its external multi-arch spiral staircase known as the Scala Contarini del Bovolo (literally, "of the snail").〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Contarini del Bovolo: The Snail House of Venice )〕 The ''palazzo'' is located in a small, less-travelled ''calle'' near Campo Manin, about half-way between Campo San Bartolo, at the foot of the Rialto, and Campo Santo Stefano. The staircase leads to an arcade, providing an impressive view of the city roof-tops. == History == The ''palazzo'' was designed and built in its current form in the 15th century by the architect Giovanni Candi as one of the city residences of the Contarini family. Giorgio Spavento is believed to have been responsible for the addition of the grand spiral staircase on the exterior in 1499.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Venice - Bovolo House )〕 The Palazzo del Bovolo was chosen by Orson Welles as one of the main locations (Brabantio's house) for his 1952 adaptation of Shakespeare's ''Othello'', and the staircase is prominently featured in the film. The staircase is currently closed to the public due to restoration work which began in August 2015.〔http://www.scalabovolo.org/bovolo2.html〕 The staircase can nonetheless be viewed from a distance.〔Gompel, M.E. van & Mathu, VTJ: Visit on 13-12-2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
