Located near Palazzo Franchetti, this residence is made up of two side-by-side buildings, Palazzo Barbaro Curtis and Palazzo Barbaro in Santo Stefano.
The oldest was built on a design by Giovanni Bon in 1425 and was initially in the hands of the Spiera family, then of Pietro Franco, a seller of spices and medicinal herbs; it was then the turn of Nicolò Aldioli, to finally pass to his heirs up to Zaccaria Barbaro. The facade of this building is traditionally divided into three parts, with archaic elements that blend well with the fifteenth-century elements. At the level of the first noble floor, now owned by Piergiorgio and Franca Coin, you can see the magnificent four-light window with four-lobed openwork from the 15th century while on the second floor the multi-light window has the appearance of the 14th century. Of the two original water portals, today only one is open while the closed one ran along the Rio dell’Orso.
