Querini Stampalia Palace

Querini Stampalia Foundation. History

While the piano nobile conserves all of the atmosphere of a typically lavish 18th century noble residence, on the ground floor the advent of modernity can be seen in the perfect balance of elegance and functionality in the architectural work of Carlo Scarpa, Mario Botta and Valeriano Pastor.
