Palazzo Michiel del Brusà
The burnt palazzo
'Brusà' means burned in Venetian dialect, and this is what happened to this Gothic palazzo on the Grand Canal in 1774, leaving only the original facade on the Grand Canal. Because of the Michiel family's illustrious history (three doges, among others), the city paid for its rebuilding. Jacopo Guarana, a follower of Tiepolo, added some frescoes to the interior.
Today the palazzo is used for special exhibitions and events.
