Palazzo Bollani Erizzo

Palazzo Bolani Erizzo is an ancient Venetian palace of the 13th century, built along the Grand Canal in the Cannaregio district.

After the World War One, the engineer Gino Vittorio Ravà, a builder, resided there, who built the Scalzi bridge in Venice and invented the restoration system using the hydraulic jack method.

During the World War Two, the palazzo was rented for a short time by poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti who in 1944 founded the futurist association Cannaregio 5662.

The narrow façade has the two noble floors, with each one featuring a three-part mullioned window with large arches on columns.

According to E. Fahy, an oil painting by Francesco Guardi, representing the Grand Canal and Rialto bridge, shows the Venetian panorama as it was possible to observe from a window located on the first floor of the palazzo.
