Palazzo Mocenigo Gambara is a palace in Venice, located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal, between the Contarini Palazzi degli Scrigni and Corfù and Palazzo Querini alla Carità, not far from the Gallerie dell'Accademia and in front of Palazzo Giustinian Lolin.[1][2][3]
The palazzo was built during the second half of the 17th century to be the home of the prominent Mocenigo family. In this century, the family commissioned to paint frescoes on the internal courtyard walls, a work now lost. In the last years of the 18th century, the palace passed to the Gambara family due to the marriage between Francesco Mocenigo and Eleonora Gambara. Giambattista Canal and Jacopo Guarana painted the interiors. Today Palazzo Gambara, owned by the Venice Industrialists Association, is a congress venue.[4]
