Palazzo Bernardo: Overall view, canal facade
Date
Circa 1910
Location
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries
A well conserved example of a two-family palazzo of the 'gotico fiorito' with a six-light loggia in the second piano nobile, based on the Doge's Palace. The building was built before 1442, since a document proves that in said year Francesco Sforza was guest in the palazzo (terminus ante quem). Until 1868, the palazzo remained property of the Bernardo family, which died out.
