Querini Stampalia
The Querini Stampalia Museum is on the second floor of a 16th century palace, rich in stucco works and frescoes, which used to be the home of the Patriarch of Venice.
About a 100 18th-century Venetian paintings are on display, 30 of which are genre-scenes by Pietro Longhi and 67 are landscapes by the minor painter Gabriel Bella, an imitator of 17th and 18th-century works.
The Querini Stampalia Museum is a house-museum, where the visitor is immersed in a typical sumptuous 18th-century scenario.
The building also includes interesting examples of modern architecture: the bridge, atrium and garden designed by Carlo Scarpa and the dramatic staircase (scala B) by Valeriano Pastor.
