The Palazzo Ficquelmont-Clary (''Ficquelmont-Clary Palace '') is a Late Renaissance Venitian palace facing the Giudecca Canal alongside the fondamenta Zattere by the ponte longo in Venice's Dorsoduro. It was originally built in the 17th century for a Venitian noble family. In the early 19th century, at a time Venice was part of the Austrian Empire, the palazzo became the Venitian residence of Franco-Austrian counts de Ficquelmont. The palazzo is known as ''Palazzo Ficquelmont-Clary'', named after its owners as the palace was bequeathed to count Charles-Louis de Ficquelmont's daughter and heiress, princess Elisex von Clary-Aldringen. The palazzo has remained in her descendants ownership to this day. ==Description== Originally built in the late 17th century, during the vogue of the late Venitian Renaissance revival architecture, the palazzo underwent later remodelling in the 19th century but has kept its original style unchanged. The late Renaissance palace's façade onto the Zattere with its formal gate, topped with counts de Ficquelmont and princes Clary-Aldringen’s coat of arms’ bas-reliefs, has become a very recognizable landmark of Dorsoduro: it is one of the most magnificent of the district and surely the most noticeable of the Zattere. The palazzo's architecture is typical of the Venitian Revival. It follows the Renaissance pattern of design on four floors: a hallway floor giving access to the palace from the fondamenta is surmounted by two Piano nobiles and a fourth story above them: :- the ''primo piano nobile'', typical of Venitian neo-Renaissance style, is made of decorated columns and eight ''monofora'' windows of which four are component of an open loggia with balcony, this floor is hosting magnificent ceremonial rooms; :- the "secondo piano nobile" (secondary floor) has four ''monofora'' windows surrounding a large ''quadrifora'' closed loggia, it hosts more intimate reception spaces; :- the fourth story is of much simpler exterior design, it has eight square windows without applied decoration. The "U"-shaped back facade is made of two paralleled wings surrounding a large garden ending onto the back canal with a richly decorated crenated wall with arched gates to the Chiesa degli Ognissanti. 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 Ficquelmont-Clary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
