Construction began in 1659 for the Pesaro family, one of Venice's wealthiest and most powerful noble houses, known for their lavish lifestyle and patronage of the arts. Longhena, unfortunately, did not live to see its completion, with Antonio Gaspari taking over after his death in 1682. The palace was finally finished around 1710, a testament to the family's immense wealth and desire for a residence that would reflect their status on the Grand Canal. Its distinct façade, characterized by a rusticated ground floor and two superimposed orders of columns, became a highly influential example of Venetian Baroque. Over the centuries, the Pesaro family's fortunes dwindled, and the palace changed hands several times. In the late 19th century, it was acquired by the Duchess Felicita Bevilacqua La Masa, who, upon her death in 1898, bequeathed it to the city of Venice with the explicit wish that it become a museum for modern art, focusing on young and emerging artists. This generous act laid the foundation for the prestigious International Gallery of Modern Art it houses today. The first International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice was held here in 1908, giving a platform to artists who were often overlooked by more traditional institutions. This pioneering spirit continued, establishing Ca' Pesaro as a vital center for artistic experimentation and the promotion of modernism in Italy. Today, it remains a cornerstone of Venice's vibrant cultural scene. 🎟️ Book tickets for Ca' Pesaro Museum Book now ↗ Book now ↗ (https://www.tiqets.com/en/ca-pesaro-museum-tickets-l150894/?partner=tickets.venice.it) ## Structured data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "TouristAttraction", "name": "Ca' Pesaro Museum", "description": "Explore contemporary art and oriental treasures within the majestic Baroque palace of Ca' Pesaro.
