Description:
The unfinished palace at the opposite of the railway station is one of the most prominent examples of an anti-baroque, neoclassical profane building in Venice that does not resort to the formal language of Baldassarre Longhena and his followers. Above a water floor, bossed only in the middle, a loggia with three wide round arches and corinthian columns in colossal order and a pediment.
