The nearby bridge Ponte del Soccorso connects it to the Palazzo Zenobio.

[4] The building was home of the prominent Arian family, ascribed to the Venetian aristocracy, until its dying out in the 17th century.

Palazzo Ariani is a three-story building, one of the oldest examples of Venetian Gothic style in the city.

The façade has a remarkable window layout: the left part is decorated with two ancient and elegant poliforas and the right part has two pairs of large Gothic lancet windows.

A staircase supported by pointed arches starts from the courtyard, leading to the upper floors.
